Hi James,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
There may be (very hard to see) maker's marks on this that might give a clue who made this, and when...If you see any such marks please upload a photo and I'll update the appraisal as necessary.
Also, if you'd like for your appraisal to include dimensions, which is customary, please forward in the comments section - at your convenience - the overall height and diameter and I'll update this ASAP.
