Agree with other posters, turn over the jardiniere and look at the bottom. If there are not identifying marks, that does not mean that it is worthless. You should send your photos to a reputable, knowledgable antique dealer. Good luck, I think you may be very surprised now how valuable ugly can be!

Possibly antique. Several hundred dollars worth perhaps. Late 1800's maybe.<br /><br />Turn the Jardinere over and read everything on the bottom of it, or photograph, to see where it came from and the age.<br /><br />I can come and get it if its in your way!

You never know...<br /><br />The stick? I'd keep it around to shuffle your mom-in-law out the door when she's overstayed her welcome. That, or smack her upside the head with it.
