It has no markings or words of any kind to help identify it. It is either pewter or silver plate, with porcelain (I guess it's porcelain). It's 9 1/2 inches high, sort of teardrop shaped, with a domed, hinged metal lid with a finial. The spout and handle are the same metal, as is a band around the lower body below the spout. The body is porcelain (my mother said "china") with identical scenes on two sides, of a bright, highly imaginative sort of bluebird with rose, yellow, and brown wings, sitting on a branch of a rosebush with equally stylized flowers in rose, with yellow and green centers. There is nothing on it to identify it. How can I find out what I have? Thanx in advance for any information you can give me.
