    I have been searching for something to compare mine to for days, today I run across an Ebay listing with the same exact shaped glass insert, though theirs is clear and mine is frosted. They are calling it

    Antique French Gilt Bronze Ormolu Cut Crystal Centerpiece Bowl Jardiniere Empire

    in case you want to look at it. I am not sure if mine fits that same category or not? There is not a mark on it anywhere. It is 8" by 4" and 3" high. Thanks for looking! orm.jpg orm1.jpg orm3.jpg

    Not an expert but my inclination is that there is far too much difficult casting/fitting and quality finishing to be anything else. Love it!
    Cheers

    I love it too.
    I think it is the same category, just a different style in the ormolu. Theirs is Neo-Classical, yours is Art Nouveau.
    The shape of the glass insert is exactly the same, as if they were both by the same maker.
