<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1425257, member: 10944"][ATTACH=full]223691[/ATTACH] Saw this posted locally today and normally I wouldn’t have thought much of it but it was posted by a lady that owns an antique store that I sold something to once. It’s described as being Native American. I wasn’t really familiar with NA pottery canteens but they are indeed a thing. Most seem to be quite modern and heavily decorated in stereotypical SW NA design. Some go for some good money for sure. This one which I only have one picture of is incredibly “crude” by comparison. No painted on design. It looks like it has some lines incised in the pottery in a cross hatch type design. Probably some brown paint at some point. Not sure what’s going with this one. Is it just a crude piece that never got decorated properly? Does it actually have some age on it? Is it really NA? Was it made for use rather than sale to tourist or at a gallery? Just someone’s pottery project? Opinions very much appreciated on this one. Listed for $125, I’m guessing the seller thinks there is something here. Were it truly an NA item meant for use I assume the value would be much, much, much higher though. Hence my interest in finding out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
