Was told this is a 3 part pottery jardiniere. When my uncle gave this to me he told me this is my “ace in the hole.” So I assumed it was worth some money. My grandmother told me it was used to hold and and carry water. It was carried with 2 pieces of slat wood. One through each handle. Hence, 3 piece. It is approximately 3 foot tall and as big around as it is tall. Very heavy and thick. If you stick your hand down into it, it is much cooler inside. There are no identifying marks. Although on one side of it is a raised “mardi gras” type face and the other side is a raised “flower?” Pictures included.
