    Assuming this is 19th century, and the mark is likely Arabic or similar, and probably unable to be identified, I'm going to try anyway! It's a boring rainy day here....
    Prices for these old Dallah's are all over the place, so just trying to learn more about it. About 10 5/8" high. Thanks for your time. :)

    I can't identify the mark, but this looks a lot like several my Mom got in Arabia around 1960. I've found them very hard to date, because 20th century ones were commonly made using 19th century techniques, and thus their primitive style can be quite deceptive.

    You are certainly right that prices are all over the place, though.

    Let me throw in that many of these were and are made in India with Arabic markings for export.
