Description
This beautiful antique piece will be great in your collection. Unfortunately it does not come with its lid. There are a few flaws and repairs as shown in photos. There is a repair on one of the lions side of handle, and top of that handle. There is a tiny chip under the base and on the side corner of the base. Family letter inside describing the item. This is from the late 1700's to 1800's. I will ship this item heavily with bubble wrap,in styrofoam case, and will double box it. This is the real deal. Only others I can find like it are in museums. Measures 10 1/2" high.Inside the vase I found this letter:
Dear Great, Great Grandma Hannah Peterson (you have your initial on the family heart,) also brought this piece of bisque porcelain without the glaze.
I recall seeing it on her mantel when I was a child and loved it. Mom kept i ton her mantel. It has such grace and beauty. Perhaps Amanda and Allison can cherish it too, in years to come. A memento of your Dad's Danish relatives. Great, Great, Great, Great Grandma of Mandy and Allie. Whew, that's a bunch isn't it?
Made in Germany in the early 1800's so guess it qualifies as a bonafide antique.
Great little piece of history.
