The colors are fantastic with multi-shades of metallic iridescent violets, it depends how the light hits this marvelous and such a sweet vase. I am not sure how to describe the motif. It is very abstract and could be a flower. But it mostly reminds me of a firework exploding. This fabulous vase dates to C 1890s putting this in the Art Nouveau period. I need to add that due to the light of the flash from the camera, the pictures show this vase at its very best which show how beautifully it would appear with its own spot light shinning on it. It is signed at the bottom edge under one of the handles as seen in the pictures. If you are into high quality European or art pottery this is a must have as it will really be an asset.
