<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 2804140, member: 308&quot;]These could have been used as cache pots or perhaps planters.&nbsp; Don&#039;t fall into the trap of assuming that every item had a given use&nbsp; During the Victorian era, these were often created solely to add beauty to a home.&nbsp; Obviously these were not used often or more pieces of the decoration would be missing.&nbsp; They are extremely delicate and difficult to find in such good condition.&nbsp; The 100+ age is accurate.&nbsp; It is very difficult to find these signed but we know from the intricacy of the decoration that it had to be produced at a time when labor was cheap.&nbsp; Almost all the decoration you see was hand created and applied by skilled artisans and by 1900 or so it was no longer possible to manufacture them economically.&nbsp; The style and the glazes also point to Victorian era manufacture.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, these are often unsigned and most records of their manufacture were destroyed or lost years ago so exactly when it was produced and by who will be very difficult to determine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
