Unknown marks on a small vase

Hi,

This small vase is only 9,2 cm (3,6 inches) tall. The porcelain is marked underneath with a mark I don't know. The upper- and underrim are silver gilt, marked with the small French mark (around 1900). The upper rim has an Austrian-Hungarian importmark (1901-1921) and the (very small) makers mark CR or GR (or?) with something like a vase between the CR (or GR). Who could that be?

Regards,

Zilverik

Thank you Zilver2!
GB I couldn't read, but now you mention it, I can.
I am happy with that name. Looked at other works of Gaston Bardies and what I found is of very good quality.

Regards,

Zilverik
