Featured mystery object

I have bought this mystery item made from ceramic. Would love to know from which country it is and howl old it is.

 

how tall..... does the top remove ?

 

it measures 29 cm high and 16 cm wide and 9 cm deep and weighs 2300 grams. it is a one piece object no removable parts.

 

could it be this: https://aukro.cz/keramicka-kasicka-reklamni-kachlova-kamna-sachsische-ofen-fabrik-meiss-7061501215 translation is Ceramic money box advertising tiled stove Saxon OFen Fabrik Meiss. But mine is not a money box

 

Is there a coin slot?

ok thanks.

 

together with the tile stove kachel i bought this tile for 10 euro. is it a real William de morgan tile.

 

Another of the coolest things I never heard of.

 

Backstamp looks right. Beware……They are making copies now as they are desired objects.

 

oke is the stamp you posted a reproduction or real. And if my tile is real does it still have value? here some closeups love to hear your opinion.

 

on the one hand, too bad it got broken. On the other, without that you might not have found it at all.

 

That’s absolutely a William de Morgan and I am very very jealous. Even repaired it has value.

I remember those stoves in Bavaria.

 

while i was googling it is very hard to find a genuine tile of de morgan. thanks for the heads up.

 

The impressed backstamp example I posted was genuine, taken from a good U.K. Auction house.

 

That's a wonderful tile! Love the image on it.

 

The quality of the painting just shouts out.

 

I visited relatives in Hungary this summer, and several of them had a ceramic heating stove. They are very attractive. I too wonder if this is a salesman’s sample.
