Approximately 7" across at the widest part of the body, 6 3/4" across at top rim, 4" tall not including lid.  Beautiful gold, soft blues and pinks.  A real beauty and OLD.  The mark is that of Moritz Zdekauer of Altrohlau, Austria, and is dated to 1884-1909.  Unfortunately, it has a hairline crack on the side beginning at one of the handles and angling down to the base.  Not noticeable unless held up to the light just so -- we only found it recently.  It is priced accordingly and is still a beautiful display piece.
