    Took a few preliminary pics. Nice piece of porcelain. Looks nicely done and the colors blend nicely at the base. No marks. Any ideas on age? Stands 16" tall.

    Seems way too ornate for function...is it simply a decorative item, or was it made to use? Wine, water, milk...Sangria?

    Looks like part of a garniture. This not the right era but ewer proportions similar.

    I'd say garniture. There's a word for that sort of sugar finish which escapes me. Dudson made it amongst others.

    1970's Hollywood French/Italian Regency ? Does look more decorative than functional.Yep-the sugar finish is interesting.

    Thank you Bosko69. Someone dated this for 1890-1910

    Wiwhittier, it is decorative only. If you look at the 1st and 2nd picture, someone has a candle in it that I had to scrape out. LOL Will take another picture tomorrow.

    Owned, thank you.
