Rare, only one known with the applied Maple Leaf design. She is well known for her applied grapes and Dogwood designs. I have sent 7.2 meg photos to an expert on Georgia Folk art pottey and he agrees with this opinion and stated he has never seen another one with the Maple Leaves. This is not signed with Aries usual AM but due to the fact It was made to be a lamp on a wood base Maybe no Siggy was used.. Probably made for a Canadian Snowbird. I removed the old lamp assembly several years ago. I can send you highly detailed photos by email that show the tool marks and other details you will need in your decision to purchase. The bottle is fairly large and is near 14 3/4" tall. The rim is 2" wide. The belly of the bottle is about 8" wide. This is very large and heavy compared to most of her items I've seen. No chips or cracks or repairs. There is the lamp hole in the base as seen in the photos and a brown glaze pop to the side. I'm not expecting that to be an issue with the rarity of the Maple Design.  We accept Paypal or Money Orders and Checks. Attention Paypal users, there will be an additional 2.97% fee added to cover the paypal fee I would incur, a $2800 paypal payment would add to your cost $83.16, so checks or money orders will be best to avoid this cost.
