PLEASE HELP ME IDENTIFY THIS WONDERFUL FIND. I NEED TO KNOW THE MAKER AND RETAIL VALUE......CAN YOU HELP???.....A Beautifully Vivid Green Heavy Drip Glaze Inside and Out...It shows Red Clay on bottom. The handles are in Amphora-like Style and measure 10" long. The urn measures 21" T x 42" circumferance with a 10" L handle and has a faint Crown image and name and numbers that I cannot make out. One handle has a crack, but can be repaired. There are a few dings also, one small one in which someone has tried to paint over. Doesn't detract from visual.
North Carolina pottery I'd guess. Possibly Royal Crown pottery or a more recent, even contemporary, potter using a crown as a logo.
It's the penned/pencilled numbers that give me pause on age, they look new when compared to fading of the ink stamp.
very elegant handles reminiscent of a rebekah vase. really nice piece!
Thanks... all good information. I still need to know what the retail value of this would be if I were to sell it in my shop.
Anyone with a clue please let me know....
Thanks
