<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 835056, member: 308"]Hello everyone! I had seen these pieces in a flea market near me but passed them over several times because I thought they were new Chinese items. But I flipped the lighter over the last time I was there and saw the Hand Painted France mark. Then when I turned over the urn I saw a mark which doesn't seem to make much sense. They are clearly decorated by the same company. Does anyone recognize the maker? The urn is about 6" tall and the lighter is 3 3/4" tall. The lighter mechanism is marked simply "Japan". The crest on the urn looks like it reads "SPERABO" on the banner. There are no words on the banner on the lighter. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!</p><p>Don</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]194484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194487[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194488[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]194489[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
