Beautiful piece - I acquired this one in Ireland last year in Killarney at an antique shop. I've had my way with it now so I can depart with it. I've tried to do some research on it but generally I've come up with nothing. It has a delightful serpent - fighting fish - koi - whatever shape. The top has a delightful fleur de lis design on all 4 sides. This piece measures 8 inches tall and weighs in at 1 pound 11 ounces. The base measures 4 and 3/8 inches squared. The 2nd tier near the base measures 2 and 5/8" squared. The very top tier measures 2 inches squared.
Solid brass cast - very weighty. Has a sort of brownish finish with spots of brass worn in spots. There are no markings whatsoever anywhere on the piece to id it. The design on the base is very intricate - leaves and vines - same as the 2nd tier and top.
I have no history to tell since the shopkeeper had none to tell. It's a lovely piece. I have tried to research it but come up with nothing and have never found another. Not even on Worthpoint
Will ship fully insured via USPO with delivery tracking.
