Description

I have a very beautiful Italian floral ceramic pedestal that was once in an Italian Church. The pedestal was brought back from Italy and given as a gift to my family by a Catholic priest, a friend of the family. The pedestal spent some time in St. Catherine's Church in Hillside, NJ. It is simply beautiful and has very detailed sculptured flowers and stenciling. The vase is a little less than four feet high and the top bowl is about one and one half feet wide and is at least 60 years old.

I would like to have an idea of how much this pedestal may be worth as a family heirloom.  Please see attached pictures.  I don't know if I want to sell it.
