[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 291944, member: 3974"]Hi potties :) Grabbed this a number of months ago and just got around to really looking at it. It has some damage/chipping around the rim/spout, and the handle has been reattached(not a very well done job) at some point. I thought the form and decoration were beautiful so I bought it anyway :) - just now noticed the "Lear's Patent" and script Lear mark on the bottom. I've only found one other piece online claiming to be Lear sand majolica - here (has a similar Lear mark but not quite the same) : [URL]https://www.etsy.com/listing/214940398/1882-very-rare-vase-samuel-lear[/URL] So my question is - is this Samuel Lear majolica? Something else? I know it's probably not worth much give the condition. I'd just like to know the history behind it. Thanks! ~ [ATTACH=full]94612[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94613[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94614[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94615[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94617[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94618[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94619[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]94621[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
