I an told that this piece is Crown Lynn or Titian Crown Lynn so to speak. It is quite unusual, and it grows on you after a while. There are no backstamps or markings or numbers. I really do hope that someone will be able to identify it USEFULLY (and not just say, no, its not Crown Lynn) Helpful watcher says I can't be sure if this is crown lynn or not but I reckon yes. Anyway just wanted to say this is out of my price range but a stunning piece either way nana1017. (thanks) Looks like it has a glaze that has run down to go over the black glaze. You can see this underneath. Has a semi lustre glaze on the fern? pictures or relief on the side sections. It is in good condition with no chips or cracks. It really is quite different & neat. Measures approx 190mm wide at its widest & approx 125mm odd high. The footed part is approx 55mm high. Great for the right person. Thanks. refN3057954
