I have what I believe (after reading a couple websites) is an older rare version of a Royal Ariston Canadian Art Ware Ceramic Pottery Vase Early 1940's. It is a brown base layering into light greens and beige as you go towards the top. There is no mold numbers, or marks underneath which was common for the earlier more rare pieces I have read.

It is aprox. 12" tall. No chips, cracks or damage.

Here is some more information about the company:
This history of Royal Ariston of British Columbia begins with understanding that Royal Ariston was the brand name of a line of ceramics introduced by the Importex Company of Vancouver. From the late 1920s to WWII, Importex, managed by Frederick Leuchte, imported ceramic items from Germany, including lamp bases. During the war, German products were unavailable, so the company began producing its own ceramic wares. These ceramic wares were manufactured under the Royal Ariston brand name. This pottery line was first advertised by Importex in 1950.

Early Importex Company wares manufactured between 1939 and 1945 are not easy to find. Later pieces of Royal Ariston can be identified through glazes, mould numbers and the Royal Ariston marks. In 1954, Importex sold out to BC Ceramics and the moulds and glazes, along with the experienced engineers and artists, such as Walter Gerz and his wife Herta, transitioned to the better known company, BC Ceramics – in effect, ‘borrowing' the shapes, moulds and mottled glazes of the the Royal Ariston brand. Unless a piece is marked with a mould number, it cannot be positively identified as an Importex or a BC Ceramics piece.
