The lot of you seem to be very good at not only ID'ing product, but also offering insight, and ideas if a positive ID can't be made.
I bought this a while ago, and still have no idea who manufactured it. I always thought it odd, as the stamp is very defined, but I've searched for "V" stamps on pottery ever since I bought this, and still no luck.
Also, anyone know why a circular sponge would be stuffed into the lid, I'm guessing this particular piece (as a whole) serves a purpose I'm unaware of.

How big is it? My first thought was sugar bowl and the sponge would be to absorb moisture so that the sugar doesn't clump.

Yeah, the colors scream 70's, but the design said 50's to me. That's why I bought it, I really dig on 50's design.

The most popular company with the V is SUMMIT ART. They bought a couple of other companies. They did use a Vin a circle. So did others besides Summit. Good luck.

Bluefalcon, I do not know the maker but it might also be a tea caddy. Love the lines. Definetly mid-century. How 'bout it Shagimod?
Identifying modern European pottery and ceramics (France, Germany,etc) is a major pain for those of us in the US and I have not found many websites that address the more modern euro marks.
I am surprised some of our European lurkers have not chimed in. Come on, we know you are reading this
