Thanks you rock!

 

Apparently they made a number of these refillable mini-decanters for use with their bath oils. This is a bit more informative:

I knew you were the person to ask! Score! Right on the freaking money! Laughing my AO! Thanks so sooo very much.
Grecian Goddess!

 

Aw, shucks. (Picture the turtle with the head pulled in.)

 

Best mosquito repellent known to man, that stuff.

 

Bada$$ if you want to know the truth! I would hang onto it until Antiques Roadshow comes to your city! j/k I would definitely take it to a local antique store and see what they say. I find the green fish looking things at the top unique in that they look like jalapeno peppers. Maybe it is MIJ for a South Western State market, idk. I definitely wouldn't sell it, but if you list it on the bay, let me know. One cool piece!

 

...and Skin-So-Soft was first introduced in 1961...


...making the 1960's date for this bottle just about right!

 

I keep seeing hot peppers too. Talavera pottery seems to be even more colorful than your piece, but these are similar shape/size:

I'm from NH and I don't recall any Native American Reservations. I know there are some Native Americans living there, but not on reservations. Also, to my knowledge, there are no NA designs featuring European angels or cupids resting on crescent moons.

This piece has the form, colors and designs of a Made In Japan piece from the 1920s-40s

 

There are no Indian reservations and no federally-recognized U.S. tribes in New Hampshire.

And, just to confirm what has been pointed out, this isn't remotely Native American pottery. No Native American potters ever used porcelain, glazed their pots, or fired them in a kiln.

 

Agree with Taupou, no Indian reservations and no old NA porcelain.
Here is a webpage on New Hampshire's Native Americans:

My step-father's mother grew up on a Reservation in upstate NY. He used to hate the term Native American. He called himself a "Damn Indian." My mother always claimed we were part Abenaki from her ancestors who came down from Canada. I can say for sure they were fur traders. I suggest the OP go to their local library and do some research on pottery and china.

 

This plaque is in Plymouth, however Native American Indian Tribes in NH, Although not federally recognized are certain.

Although not "federally" recognized does not mean they do not exist... As history shows. http://www.native-languages.org/hampshire.htm
Look how long it took for mother's (stay at home) women to be recognized as part of the working force...
Just sayin'

 

I think those comments you are concerned about, are a reaction to your post "In New Hampshire. We actually have quite a few Indian reservations."

As has been pointed out, there are no Indian reservations in New Hampshire. And because there also are no federally-recognized tribes, any art or craft item made by New Hampshire people who self-identify as Indian, cannot legally be sold as Indian or Native American.

That may seem unfair to some, but it is federal law. Laws can be changed, and there are provisions for tribes to become federally-recognized if they meet certain requirements. But in the meantime, the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 is the applicable law.

All of which has nothing to do with the item in question, which is not Indian, federally-recognized or otherwise.

 

it's a mystery for sure..

 

Ya most likely not Indian, but

Fo' shizzle!

 

I agree, it is not Indian. Only

 

Working on listing it. It's an inigma! Figuring how to describe it ?
