    Hi all,

    I found this small but surprisingly heavy urn in my mom’s house. It is in pretty poor condition with green tarnishing. It has what looks like a stylized winged horse and no markings on the bottom. I did find similiar, but not identical, items online. I’ll include links to those sites only for reference purposes at the end of this post.

    I tried to take a lot of photos from different angles.

    I am trying to pinpoint how old this is, where it was made, who made it, and how much it might potentially be worth.

    Thank you for any thoughts you have!

    No clue but it’s pretty awesome! I really like this, especially the little fish.

    The animal is a Hippocampus seahorse.
