ent. It it eight inches tall with a
“v” indentation on the bottom. It
was identified by the shop where
purchased as being Chinese, c.
1860. It is porcelain and has the
raised figure of a dragon encir

me to believe it is Victorian,
mid-19th century, European.
It requires a hands-on ap
praisal to truly judge the type
of porcelain.
