<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 260256, member: 5170&quot;]Hi all:</p><p><br /></p><p>I purchased this today at an estate sale in Missouri. It measures about 5 &quot; wide and 10&quot; tall at the bale. I believe it is opaline glass, painted with a scene of a girl picking lemons from a tree and a younger boy eating them. The kids seem to be dressed in folk costume (Italian?). The painting is done by hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bottom has a polished pontil, and is unsigned. The top is very decorative and sports a strawberry finial with leaves. The metal may be nickel or silver plate, or a combination thereof; the bale can be shined with silver polish but the [ATTACH=full]81317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]81319[/ATTACH] lid shines only underneath, where you can see silver. The number &quot;16&quot; appears on the underside of the lid.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if you can, help me out with the year and country of manufacture. I&#039;ll guess France, but I have no idea on the year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
