I am uncertain as to how old it is, but it definitely has good age.
It measures 8 1/2 inches tall (21.6 cm). The top measures 8 3/4 inches across (22.2 cm). It measures 11 inches across at its widest point (28 cm).
Someone suggested to me this may be early Carnelian II Roseville or Weller. I am not very familiar with pottery, so please use your judgment.
The piece ...is marked with what I believe are the numbers 888 on the bottom.
I saw what I thought were two hairline cracks, but I am fairly convinced these are just to the glaze. I took a close-up of each of them. The each measure approximately 4 inches long, with one inch on the bottom and about three reaching over the side. When you tap the pottery, it rings like a bell, and I am told that is the basic test. Of course if you disagree after you receive it, I will pay both sides of the shipping.
There is a chip on the top on the inner lip (Please see close-up photo. It is the mark on the left side in the photo). The brown spots you see scattered around appear to just be glaze, they are not indentations.
There are what I believe to be scattered scratches to the finish. I have taken close-ups of the noticeable ones of these.
Overall, it has a great look about it with wonderful presence.
It weighs a touch over 7 lbs. 10 oz. (3.464 kg).
