Handpainted made in Japan with Takito mark on bottom. Would like to find out more about history and value - i.e., what is this set designed to serve? And would anyone here know how much we can sell it for? Thanks so much.
This piece is made of a clay and in the form of an EFFIGY which shows a face on the front of the Pitcher. It measures 4 3/4" high. It is either Native American Indian made or Pre-Columbian from South America as far as I can tell. The person I acquired it from did not know what it was either. It does show hand painted black geometric designs on the body of the Vessel. This is all I know about the piece.
Has dovetail joints on the drawers, but may be machine made. Seems to be mahogany wood with wood inlay/veneer. Has brass decorative pieces topping the mirror in the shape of urns. The top section with the mirror is detachable and held on with screws. Had tapered legs. I was thinking it may be a hepplewhite reproduction but any help would be great! Trying to determine style, date, and value!
