    age. Forms like a little bowl. Was wondering if it had a specific function. Maybe for spices or a spoon rest? Or just a ornament?Weights about 250g and stands 6cm tall. Thank you for any comments.

    Was also my first thought. But couldn’t find something similar so far. Also looks to have had a well used life. Thank you for the comment

    Ash tray? It could hold a cigarette between its hind legs.
    A spoon rest would get wet and your cute cow would get verdigris. If there is one thing cows don't like....;)

    I can imagine rings, but a candle?:confused: I guess they were just guessing.;)

    I also considered vide poche.

    It does look Bosse but do your research as there are loads of fakes, lots by a naughty little company in the UK (sorry about that :rolleyes:). It may be signed?
    They normally came in graduated sets of trinket dishes/ashtrays.
    I don’t think I’ve seen the cow faked though.

    Very interesting. I appreciate the comment. I do not see any signature. So maybe a copy/fake?
