<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 244061, member: 3974"]Found this yesterday - don't know if it's newer or old but somehow in great condition(I know that's less likely). Has many of Napoleon's symbols (eagle, crown, bees, laurel wreath, monogrammed N, swan handles. Seems to be made to be attached to a base but the base is missing. Anyone have any insight on it's origin? I've found a pinterest page full of swan handled porcelain vases that are 19th century Parisian, but none quite this...Napoleonic. I've found some white and gold pieces somewhat similarly decorated with Napoleonic symbols on 1stdibs/other sites that claim that they are Limoges. The base is unmarked except for 2 black numeral 7's(I think they're 7's). There is a little sticky residue on the base from the thrift price stickers I removed. 8 1/2" tall. The rim at the top is 4 1/2" in diameter. </p><p><br /></p><p>~</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]74814[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]74820[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
