<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 2412113, member: 308"]Hello My Pottery Friends - I have a footed planter that I can't quite figure out. It stands about 5 1/4" tall and is unmarked. It seems too nice in quality to be Japanese but at the same time it doesn't quite feel Italian. I don't have the vocabulary to describe it but Italian glazes usually have a brittle quality to them that is lacking in this piece. Of course, I could be wrong and it could be from somewhere else entirely. The raised flowers appear molded rather than applied. I'm guessing it's from between the world wars. Any help you can provide would be most welcome. Thank you very much and it's so nice to be back.</p><p>Don</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]263620[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263621[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263622[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]263623[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
