<p>[QUOTE="PortableTreasures, post: 2073810, member: 10237"]Thanks in advance for your help. I bought this at a garage sale a few years ago for about $2 (in the US--New Jersey). The shape and heft of the vase appealed to me even though I typically like my vases a lot brighter in colour. I assumed it was a cheap decor piece--until I found a very similar vase on One Kings Lane (an online home furnishings and decor shop) where it was listed for $269 USD and described as Moroccan. This was in 2018 and the listing is now gone. So that gave me pause and I took it out of the thrift shop pile where I'd put it, but didn't do any more investigating. Now, with time on my hands, I just did a Google reverse image search and found something somewhat similar on Worthpoint--but described as Turkish.

[QUOTE="PortableTreasures, post: 2073810, member: 10237"]Thanks in advance for your help. I bought this at a garage sale a few years ago for about $2 (in the US--New Jersey).

Link: [URL]https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-turkish-isnik-armenian-305013106[/URL] [ATTACH=full]249802[/ATTACH] I've included images of the bottom to show that there are no marks and uneven glaze (some glazed and unglazed areas). The vase is about 25cm (9.5 inches) tall. Can anyone help me to identify what I have and whether it's a cheap decorative thing or something worth treating with a little more care than I have been....
