<p>[QUOTE="NaptownFTW, post: 10191731, member: 9989"]I picked these up today. They were marked as Native American, and my feeling is they are old, but other than that, I just don’t know enough to identify them positively. There are a couple dings and chips that seem to show light colored flecks in the clay, so I think they are shell tempered pottery. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bowl- approx 10” in diameter, 3-3/4” tall. It feels fairly light for its size. It is decorated with random stipples and inscribed lines. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]509528[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]509526[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]509529[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]509536[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]509527[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Pot- about 5-1/2” in diameter and just under 6” high.
