Unknown Urn About 15" x 5" 4lbs

Anyone recognize it? Thanks!

 

Id almost swear its a cremation urn !

 

it's got the look...

 

if it was European I'd say 1950s mantelpiece urn vase due to the round foot. a mixture of styles with a female figure that was also used in art nouveau and lionheads used everywhere.

 

It's beautilful, why don't you get an evaluation for it. It might be from a Dynasty, something.

 

So would I be correct to say it has Victorian (lions heads); Neoclassical (round foot, female figures garbed in what appear to be peploses and himations); and Art Nouveau (women depicted in what were considered risque poses at the time) styles?

 

those round feet showed up post-WWII again. scantily clad women are en vogue since Eve.

 

Was that a yes or a no? lol!

 

Hi,
I think it would make a really great lamp!!!!!

I'm with fid, it looks 20th century. Attractive for interior decorators, but not much detail or finesse in the execution.

 

Bet that was part of a clock garniture.

 

you mean on the mantlepiece ?

 

those that were intended as lamp had mostly a thick ring at the top, either outside or in most cases inside, not to bend the collar when the screws of the rest were tightened.

 

I do, fid.
