    Up for auction is   a rare 7 1/4 inch tall ceramic water pitcher I picked up in France many years ago. One one side are hand painted allied flags and on the other side is the red cross flag. It is dated 1914-15 and that's why you do not see the USA flag on it since it was made 2 years before the Americans entered the war.
    The allied flags present are: the United Kingdom, France, Imperial Russia , Belgium.... and even Serbia. One should note that although Serbia  did not play a major role in ending the war , 25% of the Serbian population died in WWI. ( And you history guys know about the start of the war).
    The extra bonus... or perhaps a primary reason for bidding, is the Red Cross Flag on the other side.
    This piece has a small chip in lip and the crack is evident... but this is a 105 old very rare collectible. I am thinning out my collection. Here is your chance.
    I expect you to look closely at all photos and please ask any questions that you may have, preferably before you bid. I am an honest eBay seller but not an expert in anything and would expect any interested buyer to do his/her due diligence research if one feels it is indicated.
