    I like it; my wife won't, so it will probably be resold after a three or four months. I would like to know what it depicts [Neptune is my guess, but why the flowers]. It has a bar across the spout, presumably to stop ice or fruit. Two of the petals have a couple of chips missing, although that is not apparent to the casual glance, and doesn't spoil the appearance.

    Is it worth more than €3.

    Opinions sought.
    Thanks.

    Strange combo of motifs but I'd buy it :) - if the petals weren't broken - hard to tell from photos.

    Two are, as well as the lower leaf.
    I'm sorry, but it does to me.:(

    Perfect, even in old stuff, is the enemy of good.
    Just sayin'...

    Agree! Even small chips are a deal-killer for me, especially on 20th century stuff. Only ancient antiquities are excused from my expectations of perfection! (Well, there might be a few exceptions, ie: small chips on antique Meissen...)
    JMHO, but I'd leave that behind, despite the low price.
