The picture is Pegasus and under the hooves are 3 double circles and in each circle is a letter the letters are J S T ( I Think)
Written under Pegas is the word Vitreous.
I thought this was a vintage powder box/container.
Any help appreciated.
Thank You.
I found this at a Garage Sale for .75 when vacationing in Pennsylvania. No cracks or nicks but plenty of crazing.
T S T = Taylor Smith Taylor mark used 1901-1930

They don't seem to have made vanity items. Just click on one of the boxes under the Taylor, Smith & Taylor, and a wide variety on the named line is shown. Also they an ephemera section which is interesting.
Thanks aghcollect for coming up with the correct name from the maker stamp. Helps a lot with that for a starting point.
"Vitreous" is the name/type of glaze that was used.
