Please help me with any info on this piece

[everythingelse2009]

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!

I thought planter too. I like it! Can't wait to see the other pics.

Planter would have to have a drain,, !!  Dried flowers ?? I was thinking a mantle piece for the same but may not be large enough for that !!  We need the size please !!

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!!

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.
