Japan certainly produced a lot of lustreware, bur from that orange colour maybe Czechoslovakia. Not sure.
It's very nice, but whether good, bad or indifferent, I dunno! I have seen some in this style, and it does appear to have some age (although I...
It was someone who replied to me in a thread about these jars years ago. Questions about them come up every now and then. However, yes, do take...

If you are near a university, you may be able to access the library which would have a lot of historical, anthropological and art history...
Iva, American Indian, or sometimes known as Red Indian in the past, comes from a mistake by Christopher Columbus. When he "discovered" North...
