    Is there anything about this tiny pot that might indicate it origin or age? Is it tourist trade junk? I don't know anything about it, and I'm curious. It's just over 2 inches tall, and the opening is 1.5 inches. _CRO0275.JPG _CRO0276.JPG

    Looks like an example of 'inspired-by' Native Am pottery. It does not look authentically NA to me-- those incisions are atypical, as are the exact designs.

    What's on the bottom?

    The bottom is unmarked.

    Nevertheless, it may be helpful to see the bottom. It looks like it has a foot. Is that so? We are assuming it is ceramic/pottery. Is it?

    It may be Chorotega pottery, from Costa Rica. One of the styles they are known for is etched black pottery, usually from the town of Guaitil.
