All hand painted and hand glazed.  You can see brush strokes in the glaze.  Very well made and a rather heavy 2 1/2 pounds.  Oval shape 8 1/2 by 7.  The bottom is 3 1/2 high without the lid.
Probably late 19th century as it is marked Italy, not "made in" but we aren't sure.
Marked 466 ITALY in black.  Gold crown stamp over a blue N.
Condition:  Very excellent.  Gold wear and the sides of the pear are worn as would be expected.  No damage or repairs or crazing.
