It is marked under the glaze. They would have had to order a lot of them. I think it was taken from a hotel room or restaurant table. We have a porcelain bathtub miniature that has the Plaza Hotel logo. Housekeeping gave it to my wife just for asking. There used to be one in every bath to hold those little hotel toiletries. That was in 1987. The vase is more like 1907.

A Scottish immigrant that made his fortune in America could have "special ordered" whatever he wanted.

Andrew Carnegie for one. ;D ;D
