Belgian had crossed my mind. I am leaning toward this being studio pottery. Just seems heavier than most comercial wares. Just thought I would...
This vase is hand turned, reddish buff clay, fairly heavy, and without marks. Glaze is similar to NC pottery. Not sure the clay is red enough...
Looks like 50s or so. Could have had a mirror. My sister had a very similar one from then. Kind of a dual purpose desk and vanity.
I don't see anything particularly Israeli to me. Why do you ask? Decorative markings are not familiar to me. Basic shape is like an Asian food...
These appear to be straight regular mechanical saw marks, which would put this into the 19th century. Can we get a better pic of this area? [ATTACH]
Thanks for the pics. I am not finding anything definitive about this particular Sligh Logo. I can say it is not a particularly early one. Other...
Don't think it is as old as the 40s. May be as late as the 80s. Need to see more pictures. Label, back, drawer construction, etc.
Looks like a food jar.

Not the faux finish you are talking about. These.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Neither artist typically signs M. Chino so who knows?
Here is a gallery site with several Marie Z. Chino signatures shown. It also indicates that there are many of her descendants who are potters,...
Can you determine what the spots are? I see a couple more in your other pictures. One little oval one on the front and another on one end. In...
Very early furniture was made from riven wood, so there would be no saw marks. There would be signs that the wood has been split. Later...
Looks like it has been refinished and/or re-coated with varnish. I think if you go over this with lacquer thinner, you can even out the finish...
Don't know if there is a name for them but you are correct in your assumption that they are for parts assemblage. As for saw marks, they would...
Definitely oak.
Look like nice chairs but not equivalent to those from the top makers. There were hundreds (thousands?) of mission furniture makers in the early...
Might mention that the foot is hollow, blown and formed with the body of the vase.
Think it is as made. Leaf is glass. Would this be considered rigaree?
Separate names with a comma.
