    Something I picked up at the flea-market today!

    It's from the early-to-mid 20th century, from what I understand (I've already found an almost identical one on eBay!!) and it's in lovely condition.

    I bought it to serve its purpose, and it's now taken up residence in my bathroom.

    I had a look online, and the prices people want for these things are ENORMOUS!! I paid a pittance by comparison.

    It's marked "MADE IN CHINA" on the base, along with the corresponding Chinese characters.

    The single mark on the base:

    Says "Made in China", in both English and Chinese.

    Ta. I’d think post war. They’re very popular, used as planters.

    Yes that's what I found out too.

    I'm using it as a foot bath!

    But they're asking CRAAAAAZY money for these online! Yikes!

    I had one that I used as a planter. It was purchased at Christmas Tree Shop in the 90s. I still have two half this size.
