Hope everyone is having an enjoyable Sunday!
Scott, I like your amberina covered compote. I'm puzzled over the purpose or rather function when it seems very large is size to be a covered sugar bowl. Maybe a covered fruit bowl or sweetmeat, perhaps? Looking at the hand painted enamelled decor, I think this could be Bohemian or even French. Even in the UK and Europe, amberina was produced. I like the swirl pattern and that is not common to find. Amberina is either a blank or has a pressed coindot pattern. Is the rim on the footed bowl and on the bottom of the lid cut by chance? Just wondering. Amberina I think is hard to ID unless you can ID the shape to the maker which in this case, your piece is a one of a kind and a first for me to see. Thanks, for posting to view.
