Unknown.

Campana is taken to mean bell-shaped and this up-turned bell-shape style of urn is a true classic being of Roman and Greek origin.

A very decorative and pretty table adornment indeed.

The whole is in well-aged condition with the metal now encrusted by a beautiful atmospheric oxidisation and weathering and structurally she is sound other than one of the handles being a little loose to the lower end.
