<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3926947, member: 8363"]This was sold to me as Victorian, but in trying to research it, I became confused. Perhaps, it is a modern reproduction.

[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3926947, member: 8363"]This was sold to me as Victorian, but in trying to research it, I became confused. Perhaps, it is a modern reproduction. I will try to describe the elements that might be important in helping me determine if it is old or modern or maybe you'll be able to decide by just looking: [LIST=1] [*]The basics - 10 1/4" in diameter x 4" tall. The flat bottom is 3 1/2" in diameter. [*]It is cased glass with a white exterior and a very pink interior. [*]It has a clear rim that has a thin pink edge on the very top. [*]It is ruffled and fluted. [*]It is clear that it is missing the handled metal base, as it becomes bowl-like midway down its height and there is a slight indentation at the top of the bowl part. [*]It is unmarked. [*]It is not highly polished. [/LIST] I hope these clues might help determine its age. Any comments appreciated.
