Erphila Italy

[collector]

I am looking for the value of a large type tureen with top.  Has large Roses, multi colored.  Any information or suggestions on where to find information would be most appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

ERPHILA stands for Eberling & Reuss an importer of European ceramics, and in the Philadelphia area.  Going back to late 1880's.  to 1990's.  Some web sites list erphila as being a German ceramics  company but to the best of my knowledge they were just importers.  

And the tureen itself is marked Italy?  No other marks?

Google for erphila tureen.  Or erphila bowl.  Most hits will be for German and Czech ceramics.  or try tureen Italy.  And try here as it has a separate listing:
