Have no idea! Picked it up at an estate sale. Approximately 30#, pottery with glaze, some crazing. Anyone have any ideas? Link for Dogpaw was deleted but came up under Google search. Link:

Wow, can't be too many of those still around. You could've ruled out RW by the clay color alone - I'm pretty sure that's Ohio clay. My two best guesses would be Roseville or Weller, but I've never seen anything in any of the books like that.
can't find the "similar" one you're referring to, could you provide a link?
Yes the old posting from Dogpaw was at

I have this identical stand in what appears to be a larger scale (18" in diameter and 9" at the tallest point and mine is cold painted) I'm unable to find much except worthpoint has one listed that sold a few years back on ebay for $700. The seller of that one thought it may be Galloway pottery? I'm uncertain as well but that's a good price reference.
