Hand painted and carved Antique Ewer with Domed Cover

Purchased this vase as is in Lyon, France at a local antique shop in 2005. I've never cleaned it because I am afraid of wiping away the fragile paint. 

I've spent several days worth of amateur research to find out any info on this vase/ewer/wine vase? Not a clue!

It appears to be hand painted and carved . It looks to be red clay on the inside but the outside and bottom of the vase seems to be porcelain? 

No distinct makers mark on the bottom of the this vase. 

I cannot smell any scents inside the vase.

The spout appears to have been used at one point.

Defintely isn't something that was produced to look old. You can just feel and see the years worn away on it.
