my father used to collect and I believe he bought it from a private party
Dear Zora,
Thank you for your request. The presented object is a porcelain amphora or urn with the measurements of 6.5" x 4.5". The urn is decorated with a golden decor and blue, yellow and pink colors. It shows a handpainted image of the goddess Diana. This piece is hallmarked with the "Bindenschild" which was the hallmark of the Vienna Porcelain manufacturer which produced until 1868. After this manufactury was closed many smaller porcelain workshops in Austria and Bohemia used this established hallmark until the 20th century. This piece was made in the third quarter of the 19th century.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
