    My ambient light is poor this time of year; the color in pics 5 & 6 is closest to accurate. It's 5 1/2" high, ~2 1/4 rim diameter, 3 1/2" foot diameter; weight is ~11 1/8 oz. Pic 7 shows some chipping at the foot, adjacent the base of the handle. The leaves are maybe nasturtium, but the lone blossom defies my meager floral understanding. In pic 1, between 2 stems, are what may be a pair of the numeral two...izzit an intentional mark, or simply a flourish? It doesn't appear to be slip-cast...I think it's thrown, mostly based on the interior bottom. The foot-rim has been nicely ground.
    Thanks for lookin'!

    Looks like Art Nouveau Majolica to me but I'm no 'pottie' (or le Poteat' as the French say).

    It does, and I think it speaks French. I suspect France or Belgium.
