Please help me with any info on this piece
« on: July 22, 2012, 10:15:31 pm »
Hello all,
I have searched high and low for any info on this piece (year range, maker, value, etc) and I have come up empty. I am hoping some of the seasoned eyes on this forum can help. The bottom just says Made in England then what I assume is the year is carved in as 18*1. The 3rd number is not readable. It is about 6 inches tall, 8 inches wide. So of course, I have no idea. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

Hello, I am so sorry for the delay. I have been working long days. Anyway, I have taken more pics with my phone. The item measured from head to head on the piece is 9 inches, depth is 6.5 inches.



Thank you for your help!

We have a number of jardinierres/planters without drains, so I'll stick with planter. Very nice! I'll take it!! ;D

Shame on you Ghopper !! Drowning your plants !! LOL  You can see cone marks on the bottom so it is probably pottery and it is likely a planter/ jardeniere !!  Decorative for mantles or table centerpiece in foyer !!

"Drowning plants."

Guilty. It makes for more botanical variety around the house. ;)
