Pottery Handled Vase

i have a losol ware vase about 10 in high cream with floral decor and gold on rim and handle?

The vase is in perfect condition apart from the gold being slightly faded the flowers are ..one large yellow one some smaller orange and yellow ones and some purple ones with darkish green leaves black underneath top of pattern it has the losol ware, keeling pottery mark on the bottom. Can anyone tel me how old it might be and if it is worth anything? i have searched the internet endlessly but cannot find anything like it.
Just as a point of interest I brought it in a charity shop about 10 years ago for three pounds

This sounds like a good piece. Losol ware dates from late Victorian times to the 1920's. it is very fine porcelain and quite rare. The Keelings were in and out of porcelain from the beginning of the 1800s and at one time had a connection with Wedgewood. The value of your item would be between a hundred and two hundred pounds, perhaps more.
