I'm hoping for some information on this cache pot, and the maker, measurements are 5" tall x 5 1/2" wide. I know the mark says Made in Austria, but was wondering what the significance of the bridge is. It was found along the coast of Maine in Searsport, the intricate design and colors caught my eye even though it does have some condition issues.
Thank you for any information that can be shared.
It is the mark of Julius Greiner & Sohn of Bodenabach. Bodenbach is on the river Elbe and I think it portrays the Empress Elisabeth Bridge (German: Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Brücke) built in 1855 and its significance lies in the fact that it was a link that connected Dresden to Prague by railway.
