I found it at an antique store in Minnesota about 5 years ago

Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png)

I was told that this came from a castle in Italy from the antique store salesman.  I wasn't sure if I believed that, but I bought it because I thought it was absolutely beautiful.  It comes in three pieces: base, urn and lid.  It has hand-painted flowers and the background base color has a crackled finish.
