Thanks, Angela,
The market for early 20th Century European ceramics is pretty soft at the moment - other pieces by CS Prussia are usually bringing less than $50 when offered at auction. This may be a case where it has greater "sentimental" value having been owned by your mother-in-law than market value.
Hi Delia,
The height is 1 and one half inches high and I remember that cookies and/or candies were severed in it.
Look forward to hearing back!
