I have a Vase marked on the bottom with a Crown and Vienna Austria. I have searched and searched but cannot find who made it or the age or any info at all. Could someone here give me any info please? It stands 5" tall. I hope this works, I'm not to savvy when it comes to pictures.

It looks late Victorian. It doesn't have the beehive mark of quality Vienna porcelain, so possibly German, made for the 19th Century tourist market.

...or 1910-20s German - it reminds me of the German carnival wares like the pink pigs in green cars/baths/bags/etc.

Sorry if I am being thick here but if it is German why would it be marked Vienna Austria?

I think some of the german potteries had studios in austria , like Cartsens for instance and they kinda get lumped together Shrugs

There was a lot of faking, mislabelling and copying going on in the 19th Century - especially of quality potteries like Vienna. If it says 'Vienna Austria' then it's probably not.
