Dear Edwin,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my inquiry. I am quite amused because my Italian maternal grandmother acquired this urn at the auction, in the late 1940s, of items that had once belonged to the Italian Royal family. Clearly, whoever purchased this urn on behalf of the Royal family knew it was a fake, and passed it as an authentic Delft.
Warm regards, BB
