    Hi all! I’ve got this vintage ornament but can’t find it on any site. I’m hoping somebody recognises it and can tell me who could have produced it. It’s 7”tall and 5”widest part with ENGLAND on the bottom with an R.
    Many thanks! IMG_0120.jpeg IMG_0118.jpeg IMG_0121.jpeg IMG_0121.jpeg

    Try using the search term "cornucopia."

    Sometime long ago, I had a Coalport piece of a similar shape and was told it wasn't a cornucopia , but shape based on a Greek rhyton -- a drinking vessel made from a horn. I may have the wrong word as the first word that came to my mind was chiton, but googling comes up with rhyton. ;)

    Too interesting. A rhyton in use.

    That lustre and colour was big here in the fifties. Heaven only knows who made it!
