[QUOTE="Dory64, post: 4340969, member: 17558"]I recently purchased this in an online auction advertised as "Oriental possibly Thai", although it is clearly marked Royal Worcester and I believe it's from their Persian range. It's pre-1891 but I can't tell if there are any date letters under the circle as there's a sticker, stuck tightly on there. It's quite big (34cm high) and exquisitely gilded, with reticulated neck and handles. I have been unable to find anything quite like it online, and due to it's size, age, and apparent rarity, and the knowledge that reticulated Worcester can be fairly valuable, I sent pictures off to Christies only to be told it "does not appear to fall into a property category or value level that Christie's currently handles for sale".
