<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValerieK, post: 9467160, member: 7360&quot;]This is an unusual little lidded pot with a pink painting on the lid.&nbsp; I think it is a scene of an ibis with palm trees in the background, which makes me think of the first fashion for Egyptian art after Napoleon&#039;s invasion of Egypt circa 1800.&nbsp; I think the pot might have held some kind of ointment, although the lid fits very loosely.&nbsp; I would love to learn more about it, if only where it was made.&nbsp; It is about 3 inches in diameter and 1.2 inches in height with the lid.&nbsp; The upper edge of the pot and the lower edge of the lid are both unglazed, which presumably was to make them more secure but looks rather primitive compared to the painting.&nbsp; It is just a feeling of mine that it isn&#039;t English, but possibly French?&nbsp; Someone on another forum has mentioned Bohemia as a possibility.&nbsp; What do you think?[ATTACH=full]442018[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]442021[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
