Old painted pottery bottle from ?

Anybody any idea where this could be made and when ? It's a handpainted design but is it like maybe (South) American or by a artist and how old could it be ?

thanks

 

nobody any idea ?

 

I did look around the first day you posted this, but couldn't pin anything down or figure out if the painted design is ethnic or symbolic in anyway.

That concave bottom should be a good clue.
The matte poster-type paint should be a good clue, too.

Is the stopper cork wrapped? Could you take it out and show us a pic?

 

Measurements and capacity would be good to know, also.

 

I'd say the painting is not by any North American native culture, and is not any Mexican or South American style that I am familiar with.
It could be that the jug is Mexican or South American, and someone found it at the Goodwill and painted their own designs on it, just guessing.

 

The size is 28 cm heigt and widht 16 cm . No cork in it . To me it looks like a terracotte clay . Don't think it's just a jug painted just like that as a free expression by somebody in the possesion off this jug . Maybe stubbern but I think there or symbols with a meaning or there a artists way off painting . Both must be traceble

 

If there's anything tribal, ethnic or of a specific regional folk art design, @Taupou is our best boardie to have a look at it.
