This is a wonderful Guilloche Enamel Portrait vase, likely French though not marked. There is a vintage sales label on it which has not been removed and may conceal some kind of makers mark.
It is hand-painted and signed by the artist. The name appears to be Lovit or Sovit (although the v could also be a "u"). Photos of the signature are included. The painting quality is lovely and reminiscent of a Fragronard painting in miniature!
A lovely vase that would... make a welcome addition to any collection of enamel compacts, enamel hatpins - she is wearing a beautiful bonnet - or other ladies vanity items. Just in time for Mother's Day!
Please view the photographs for additional details. The white spot on her hat in the first photo is a reflection. In the close-up photo of the portrait you'll see that it's gone.
Height: 5 3/8; Width: 2 1/4" at widest point.
