THIS WAS IN MY MOTHERS FAMILY, NOT SURE HOW LONG, IT IS A TURKEY PLATTER, HAS THE WORDS ESSAY, E.P.COPPER, LEAD MOUNTS ON ONE END AND 1826 ON THE OTHER END ON THE BACK SIDE, I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH THIS IS WORTH!
Any idea what this is worth? It is missing one of the ornamental wood details and part of the lip around the top. Northern label inside drawer. Thank you.
I've been able to verify ceramic, Italian ,handmade, 1800"s, Catholic, Holy Water Font, and that the name for it being "holy spirit" holy water font. There is a base for a candlestick at the base of the bowl. Fire & water...hence the name "holy spirit.
