Hi there. I think what you have is a tureen. You may have to upload a photo directly to the forum so everyone can see it clearly.

Really need close ups of the cherubs and detail work (flowers, paint etc)  would call it a tureen also and possibly Italian. Nice large piece!!

Just as I thought your piece is Benrose porcelain. They are often called Capodimonte but are not true Capodimonte but only Capodimonte-styled. Benrose was an importer from NY that imported Capodimonte style pieces from Italy They used dozens of quality factories to create works for them but these factories were not permitted to identify themselves on pieces. Benrose owned the design rights and the molds. Beautiful piece to the right buyer this piece smaller and sold in 2012 for $23.50  http://www.antiquesnavigator.com/d-888609/large-vintage-italian-capodimonte-soup-tureen-benrose-4022-made-in-italy.html

I would have expected this to be worth more than $23.50 !!  Couldn`t see your link Wendy !!

Sorry mart this is the one that sold for $23.50 in 2012  This one in the post will be more because of size but in this market even $150.00 is pushing it.

Greenacres is that one also Benrose? Different style & design I would say different factory than the one in the post.

They were also carrying a 50p plate they'd just paid $20 for.
