Hi Tracy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
That mark is the one for porcelain made in the Feuillet factory after 1820. Feuillet porcelain was bought from several porcelain factories, including the Sèvres factory and decorated in the Sevres style.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A Sevres Style polychrome glazed gilt-bronze mounted porcelain urn on stand, both the urn and stand later fitted to be lamps.
Made by the Feuillet factory and decorated at the Sevres factory, late 19th Century
In two sections, the covered urn-form with domed cover, Chantilly blue-ground and decorative painted panels depicting a landscape with figures, signed "H. Poitevin," on a domed foot on shaped bronze base, electrified; the stand also electrified, with swag ornamentation, tapering tripod support with circular floral porcelain plaque in the middle, on paw feet joined by a Y-stretcher
Porcelain 20" high (to top of porcelain) by 9" at widest
Stand 45" high by 19" foot by 9.5" top
CONDITION: both electrified, some oxidation and pitting to both, throughout.
PROVENANCE: inherited from Fae Sanger
$600-1,000 for the two; $300-500 each*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
That's great, Tracy, thanks very much. I've updated with this additional information; no change in value.
Thank you. I did find a signature and added the image.
