[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 375992, member: 2844"]Welcome to the forum, smadgos. A stunning piece, definitely Continental European. The style looks German to me, possibly Rhineland. A guess is 17th-18th century. The kneeling lady is either praying or begging to be saved from the man with the sword. The angel will protect her, or at least has been protecting her for the last couple of centuries. I don't think we have anyone on the forum who knows enough about German clay types and glaze history to determine the exact origin and age. So I think the best thing is to contact the Keramikmuseum Westerwald in Höhr-Grenzhausen, Germany. They know about ceramics other than Westerwald as well. This is their email address: [EMAIL]kontakt@keramikmuseum.de[/EMAIL] Will you let us know what they say?[/QUOTE]
