    I have had this for a few years now. I purchased it as "Delft" but do not believe it to be. It is not Chinese; likely European but I would love some other thoughts. I feel as if it is a nice piece and came from a very well known collection in Atlanta. I love the decor with continuous scene of running dog, leaping cow and standing bird. Approximate height 7.4", base diameter 2.75". flask.jpg flask2.jpg flask1.jpg flask3.jpg flask4.jpg flask5.jpg

    Might even be English.

    I love it. My guess is Iberian, so Spanish or Portuguese. But it could be anywhere in the western part of Europe.

    I know Walter was tagged in this thread and I know he passed a while ago. Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this piece as to age? Figured with more people at home, maybe someone with some new eyes will have info. Thanks for looking.

    Do you have a photo of the other animal on it? Is it a dog chasing a rabbit or a bird? Just my opinion, Savona, Italy.

    That certainly looks Spanish but I've never seen anything similar with an animal head.

    So it is a dog, a bird and spotted cow/bull. IMG_6563.jpg IMG_6564.jpg IMG_6561.jpg IMG_6562.jpg IMG_6565.jpg IMG_6566.jpg

    I thought stirrup cups had no base? Also, the dog would be chasing a fox. Very intriguing.

    I googled "antique animal head pitcher" and the only thing that came up with that similar shape was a German Westerwald ewer that is only slightly the same.
