Not translucent so I'm calling it soft paste porcelain, though maybe other type ceramic. Too small to hold soup - interior about 5" by 4" by...
Another box, another old bowl, heavy pottery, over 11 inches diameter. This one has no makers marks at all and an obvious stapled repair from the...
Recent thread took me down another rabbit hole researching a piece I've never taken time to research before. I believe I have an example of a...
Fixing and sorting, came across this piece that I've had for a year or so. Bought it from a neighbor who had traveled to europe and the far east a...
