Probably most of us have been fooled by a fake, especially when we were starting out. Here is a website with with some fake marks, including one...
I can say that not all pieces seem to make it into catalogs. And I've found different versions of catalogs for the same year, which had different...
Possibly a student piece, might be a studio piece. Both are almost impossible to ID unless you get lucky and someone recognizes it.
I don't know who made it, but I'd call it "jade glass" rather then "jadeite" IMHO, jade glass is a different color, less milky looking, and was...
Here is a mark from a piece of Czech glass I have. [ATTACH]
To add to what Pat said, the "Czechoslovakia" may not be in a straight line, or on one line for that matter. Here are some drawings of what the...
Classic Carol Burnett. Loved that show as a kid, I've seen many of the skits more recently, and they still hold up.
I don't see metal flecks in the glass, which is what aventurina has. IMHO I see Bohemia/Czech, but not really my area. Nice looking piece.
It's not my go to either, but if run across a foreign language page I want to read, I pull it up. You can also go to Google, click on the group...

Possibly a reference to Holland Molds? A maker of hobbyist ceramic molds? A complete SWAG by the way
The decor technique is called sgraffito, which is Italian for "to scratch"
I saw French also, I think the man's hat looks like a beret.
Even though not marked bottoms can tell a lot about a piece. The bottom of yours doesn't have a rough pontil, which rules out the vast majority...
Try soaking in white vinegar, CLR is another possibility. Hopefully it hasn't developed what is commonly referred to as "sick glass"
Check "glue chip" for the name of the decor. That's what it is called in sheet glass used in "stained" glass
All I can tell you is that the design is gray/wheel cut, not etched. The frosted look is due to the cuts not being polished. There were lots of...
Yeah, I'm not good enough with dating this kind of stuff to commit to a better date, but probably around 1920's
looks like utilitarian stoneware from the first half of the last century. Would have had a lid at one time, may have been wooden or stoneware
Definitely don't use chlorine bleach. It shouldn't fade the green band, the pigment is baked on on it. Pattern fading could happen with decals....
Separate names with a comma.
