    I'm trying to identify this porcelain urn/trophy!
    The style looks a bit austro-hungarian to me.
    It's marked with a golden crown, and a series of numbers.
    The stripes are hand-painted but the floral decorations are printed.
    The base is attached to the urn with an iron screw.

      I see some similarities with my posting http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/82539-this-one-is-a-mystery
      Maybe it's from the same time period?
      The mark looks familiar but I just can't remember right now:(

      It almost looks like the top part of the crown for "MINTON'S" .

      I known its not Mintons but how close the top part of the crown is ....

      freiheit - yes I think they are a bit similar in style!! Probably from the same time period!! :)

      Elisabethan, Roycroftbooksfromme1 and blunderbuss2, many thanks for your comments!! :)

      SEAN68 - many thanks for your suggestion!! I still have no idea where my urn comes from...

      austrohungaro - thank you so much!! Yes I also think it looks very influenced by Powolny!! I thought it might come from austro-hungary or germany...
