The handle is quite odd as well, it seems the gold just ends, not like it has been rubbed off or something. I tried pouring from it...doesn't make a nice spray, just runs out and joins the water from the spout.

It looks like petals with gold flecks maybe? I took a close up, and it goes around the entire bottom.

Hello all! I am new to the forum, and I am hoping I can get some help on this one.

This is a recent find of mine at Goodwill. Thin porcelain, hand pained. Odd design at the neck, almost like a lattice cut? It is shaped like a pitcher, but if you used it as such, the liquid would fall through the cutouts, so I'm thinking maybe a vase? Not makers mark, just a 194 imprinted before the shiny glaze on the bottom. the inside is also shiny, but the outside is matte. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
