    hello everyone,

    found this and fell in love. I’d like to know more about it. Preliminary searches yielded nothing. Anyone recognize the maker or what it might say underneath?

    thank you for any help

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    All I can say is I think it ends in “vent” if anyone can add to that!

    There are "Made in France" pieces with your marking TN Bavent on Liveauctioneers. Might be Poterie du Mesnil de Bavent, not sure.

    LINK. Looks like it is Tuilerie Normande du Mesnil de Bavent. This site shows invoice headers with your maker's mark.

    You guys always save the day! It seems to be a finial. I saw another mythological creature they made that is very similar that said it was. It certainly is neat
