Thanks, Reyne. That was my first thought, but it seemed too tall & the pickle castors I have seen had straight or rounded sides, not this peanut shape. Also, there is no holder for the fork & all I have seen had that.

I fell in love at first sight. It is quality. This is one of those times that I wish I was buying & not part of the auction staff.
Never thought about Bohemian. I'll do some checking on that, too. Thanks.

Looks like a biscuit barrel (cracker jar) although it is a bit narrow.
The STYLE is certainly Mary Gregory. She ALWAYS painted children and the quality of the enamelling looks quite good from your picture. The fakers and reproducers get it wrong when they try adding scenes not including children. The style of the metalwork looks to be in keeping with a genuine piece - are there any marks on the metal?
IMO

The size & shape is what has thrown me off. Seems too tall to me to be either a cracker jar or a pickle castor, although those were my first guesses.
It's authentic, but that is all I know. No marks anywhere. Similar to some examples of Julius Muhlhaus 1867-1879 (or one of his sons), a Bohemian artist who painted blanks. Still researching on that end. So many companies/artists produced similar works.
I haven't researched Mary Gregory, yet, but I was under the impression that she SELDOM painted scenes with children, that most of that work was incorrectly attributed to her. So says one of my Westmoreland books, anyway.
The search goes on.
