Lovely ewer has a creamy white base hand painted with pale yellow, rich aqua blue-green and pink roses and is decorated with a fancy gilded moriage pattern. 

Blue Maple Leaf backstamp with "Nippon" and "Hand Painted" in English cursive. Circa 1890's. No visible cracks, chips or crazings. Some of the gilding looks faded or rubbed here or there, but otherwise this beautiful piece is in good condition

This is a piece of Edwin M knowles china . I believe it to be rare because i can not find anyone who has ever seen one of these or any pictures on the internet of another one like it. i learned from a museum that it was a jardiniere but they where unable to place a value on it. My curriosity about this items value is off the charts simply because of the lack of information on it.

I would like to know the retail value of this piece. I also have the matching China Hutch to it as well. If anyone could tell me what they are worth, that would be great... or even the history of the two pieces.
