Thanks so much Don.
Maybe I wont be able to identify it but can anyone give me an idea of what type of glaze this is? The outside is so shiny I thought it was glass when I first picked it up.

 

It's really beautiful. Hope you get an i.d.

 

Hi Rro! Thanks, that's so sweet of you.

 

Hi Rro,
You have been missed. Welcome back!!!!

it's unusual....and rather striking !!
nice find !

 

Thank you a Komokwa!

 

I see why you thought it was glass !!!
I think it's from another planet !!!
It's not any pottery i'm used to seeing here......

The bottom is wild......
It looks like glass covered stone petrified wood.....if that were a thing !!

 

LOL Komokwa, the bottom looks like a science project to me! I think it's really neat. I would still think it was glass if not for the 3 holes in the base which is found on a lot of pottery.
Was thinking last night that I had a vase a few years ago with a similar shape and it was from Italy. Could this be Italian?, Or is this shape common in many areas?
Thanks everyone so much.

 

How would one even make such a thing ???
Oh...& i see 4 holes....

 

Wow, you're right....there is 4 little holes...I wonder if they have something to do with the glaze and shiny coating?
Thanks Komokwa

 

maybe it stood on pins for firing ?

 

Maybe so Komokwa. I am really clueless about this.

 

Seems , so are our flock !!

 

Yep, it seems our knowledgeable peeps are stumped on this too!

 

Generally, very shiny glazes like this are termed "High Glaze". You glaze has some great flowing crystalline properties to it. It has 3 stilt marks on the bottom. The 4th is a bubble burst. I can't conjecture on who made this, as it doesn't ring any bells. If I had to guess, maybe a CA pottery and mid-century or later. Nice piece that I would have bought as well.

 

Wonderful Brad, that is great information and very helpful, thank you soooo much!
