Hello All,
I picked this up today and would love it if someone could tell me a little something about it.
Does anyone recognize the mark? it's the same front and back, with different letters on the sides,( I only included a photo of one side, so that I could show you the bottom ).
It's about 6 and 1/2 inches tall
I can't tell if it's an older or more recent piece.
Any help, any looks and loves appreciated,
Hope that the season is good to everyone,
Best Wishes,
Tony.

I have 4 pieces with similar marks ranging in height from 2 1/2" to 4 1/2". They have only the ABB and anchor on the front--no other markings. My initials are ABB which is why I have a passing interest in these pieces when I come across them--all found in different antique stores throughout Maine over the last 30-40 years. I just started my research. Will come back here if I find out anything!
I saw similar ones that are Abb dusseldorf pieces from Germany.
That's great to hear! Some of my research says they're German.
Thanks to everyone for all of the information,.....it takes a village, and this is a great one!
