<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwheatley88, post: 2710948, member: 16487&quot;]I recently posted another antique for feedback from the local experts, and was guided in a very helpful direction. This is another piece I recently inherited from my great grandmother, via another family member. I&#039;m mostly interested in confirming when and where this piece originated, to gain further insight into my great grandmother&#039;s travels. I&#039;m not planning on selling it, but if you know the worth, I wouldn&#039;t be opposed to hearing a value.</p><p><br /></p><p>The following is information I&#039;ve cobbled together thus far from my web search:</p><p><br /></p><p>- I believe it to be a Sitzendorf ceramic potpourri urn, potentially made between 1902-1918, based on the style of the crown stamp on the base (this could very well be incorrect, and I suspect it might be due to some finishings, such as the holes in the cherubs&#039; backs). I wasn&#039;t able to find an exact replica online, though it seems to be a less-detailed/lower quality version of this one: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Dresden-Sitzendorf-Figural-Cherub-Applied-Flowers-Pot-Pourri-Urn-Vase-/224025434392" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Dresden-Sitzendorf-Figural-Cherub-Applied-Flowers-Pot-Pourri-Urn-Vase-/224025434392" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Dresden-Sitzendorf-Figural-Cherub-Applied-Flowers-Pot-Pourri-Urn-Vase-/224025434392</a></p><p><br /></p><p>- I find it interesting that the floral pattern at the centre of the urn appears almost to be unfinished. Especially as many of the urns I viewed online had much more elaborate floral &#039;centre peices&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>- There is however, an interesting impression on the base which looks like a number 9 with another symbol next to it. My online searches haven&#039;t come up with anything about that unfortunately; do you know what this symbol indicates?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d appreciate any further insight, and I&#039;ll update this post as I find out more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, thanks for all of your patience, as you can clearly see I am a novice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
