[QUOTE="Marie W, post: 9758376, member: 85252"]I saw this in the tubs on the merchandising cart at my local thrift shop and snatched it-- the colors on the flowers seemed very mid century to me. It appears to be a high quality piece, the brass stand is very nicely done (although on one side there are two tiny holes in the brass, see pics); the more I examined it, the more it intrigued me, so I bought it. The only thing I've seen similar online while searching was a lamp and a description that said it was Venetian and from the 40s. I am assuming this one is a planter, from the wide opening and the brass lining. I think that's wax at the bottom. I haven't tried to clean it. Thank you in advance if you have information that would help me know where and when it was made, and a better description of what kind of piece this is. Apologies for the intrusive hands/phone images in the pics, it's very reflective!
