<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dude, post: 1369983, member: 13170&quot;]The experts are starting to comment, so I&#039;ll update this post as I get more info.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one has disagreed so far in my claim that it is an authentic piece from the early 1900s. </p><p><br /></p><p>In keeping with Any Jewelry&#039;s, laura 9797, and blooey&#039;s advice, and what I had found myself, I think it&#039;s safe to say I have a two-handled</p><p>Deruta-style Faience Majolica vase, urn, or jar of medium quality, featuring a bust of a man (likely an Amsterdammer) donned in a large, Ottoman-style turban.</p><p><br /></p><p>The piece is 10.5&quot; tall and 9&quot; from handle to handle and weighs about 3.25 lbs&nbsp; It&#039;s somewhat lustrous, with decorative Renaissance (I think) designs &amp; features. The glaze has variations in thickness, and the bottom ring terracotta bisque has a rougher texture and different color than the rest of the foot. It is glazed inside and out and marked Italy 614 on base/foot.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as condition, it has issues commensurate with age, use, and common storage: rim, foot, and body chipping/chips, as well as sporadic dings/dimples and small cracks in the opaque, tin/lead white glaze, exposing the rough earthenware pottery clay base.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think it&#039;s worth a few a few hundred, maybe more. I&#039;m not on this site to sell, but, like most of the pieces I list,[ATTACH=full]221478[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221481[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221486[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]221487[/ATTACH] I would consider offers, especially from people who are transparent about fair market value and genuinely want the pieces for their private collections.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your time and attention. As always, I look forward to and sincerely appreciate any responses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
