Hmmm, I know nothing about pre-Colombian pottery, but if from South America, it could be Mayan or Peruvian, etc. Aztec was mainly in the Mexican...
Neither the shape nor the decoration is traditional Satsuma. So IMHO, it's an imitation of popular wares of the late 19th/early 20th c. The good...
Well, any flaw will detract from the value, but as to how much, hard to say. Best thing is to fly up the price that you think it's worth and see...

Could be studio, but I'm thinking our usual favourite, southeast Asian...

All one piece buttons -- shanks are carved from the same piece. I'll go with antler!
I wish they we're opercula. The second row shows the button underside -- the shank to sew on the button. You can see holes in the material which...
Funny, I was thinking Spain, Portugal, Italy (except "Italy" would be marked on it) but not France. I dunno.
[ATTACH] OK, not a textile person at all, but I was at a garage sale and thought these were kinda neat. Bone? Antler? I think shellacked or...
Well, it's brandy new! Could very well be the sticker of the export company. Pretty.
My feeling is is that it's not terribly old and for some reason I'm thinking Spain or Portugal? I don't recognize the mark. :(

Here's another one IDing it as c. 1950 Duncan Phyfe dining table. Got my Mom and Dad's in my dining room right now -- they were married in 1951.
