Just bought this at a local carboot sale.  Its quite chunky and heavy standing 8" high, with purple iridescence.  The base is recessed. Lots of age related wear underneath.  Any ideas what it could be please?
TIA  :)

Brockwitz "Triands".

The original name was "Niobe"... but that's collectors for you   :o One warning, don't follow Edwards example and call it Triads, as he did in some early editions of his encyclopedia.  ::)
