American Belleek Willets tankard - overpriced?

By rayroydoris, 6 August, 2013
Description

I found this tankard in an antique store and the dealer is charging $220.  In my research, I have seen few similar items but some similar tankards seem to be selling for $90-120.  In my research I have also found that some were sold as "blanks" and later painted by more amateur, non-factory artists.  I noticed the oval that the lady is in appears to be off a bit.  It seems to be art nouveau style though and my sense is it is genuine.  It is more of a large mug, though, in my estimation and less of a tankard in the style of say, a Limoges. 

I would like to know if it is real and how much it is worth.  thank you
