Question
i have a pot (without lid) which i believed was used for storing ginger in, it has a re_enactement of a battle painted on it and the figures painted on it are raised, it has been glazed twice i think, the pot colour is brown around the bottom rim ( 1 inch) and the background on the picture is a cream colour, the other main colours are, green, red, yellow, brown, and purple it is 13 cm high and 11 cm wide, it also has 4  chinese symbols in blue on the bottom and i can feel that they are slightly raised, do you think it is worth any thing? i hope this is not an irrelevant item i am asking about but im going mad here as i need to know

The introductory spiel makes it clear that I answer questions about pewter. Why on earth do you think it OK to waste the time of a volunteer with a question that is wholly outside my field? The fact that you are keen for an answer is not an excuse.
