<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lucille.b, post: 898, member: 51&quot;]Yes, it is a ring of clay surrounding the center. </p><p><br /></p><p>A few corrections -- just went back and had a look in good light.&nbsp; (Disregard what I said in the original post, it is black inside.)&nbsp; I now think this is made of clay, got a magnifying glass out at the small spots where the glaze is off -- possibly a gray clay underneath which would explain why it felt lighter weight.&nbsp;&nbsp; Could be an Ikebana dish, would the size be about right?&nbsp; Measures 6&quot; across, just over 2 1/2 inches high, stands on 3 feet.&nbsp; The crane pattern does not repeat, but wonder if there was some kind of press that made the pattern?&nbsp;&nbsp; It is kind of interesting with that super textured base at the half way point, connected to the smooth part with cranes.&nbsp; Wonder if this was made to imitate an older piece?&nbsp; I do think vintage in any case.&nbsp;&nbsp; If anyone else has thoughts, please let me know.&nbsp; Thanks Bakers, and Anti.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
