17'' H x 9.5'' W x 8'' D. Condition: The pedestal: 3.75'' x 6.75''. Decoration to all nicely executed. Good overall condition. General light marks, scratches and rubbing to surface commensurate with age. Rubbing to gilt elements particularly at extremities. Some small losses to tiny raised ''jewel'' enamels. Some minor inherent imperfections to porcelain. Lid apparently slightly warped - does not sit flush with top of urn. Pedestal base associated as stated and apparently not by the same maker. Colors, decoration and scale are similar enough that all elements work well as a set.
