This is the most wonderful unusual shaped vase or planter. The colors are rich browns, rusts and creams, with bright 24KT gold accents throughout. It has a shape like a purse and four feet. This piece is marked Hand Painted Portugal PV.1906. I am not sure if that is the date or what, it is an auction piece. It does look old by the wear to the bottom of the feet and the slight age glaze crazing. There are no marks on the inside so I don't think it was every used as a planter, very clean...
