<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 172615, member: 45&quot;]I would suspect a recent import from China.&nbsp; The Chinese have been making copies of several ceramic styles/periods recently, including many art potteries, early American stoneware, southwest pueblo pottery, and studio pottery, to name just a few.&nbsp; Examples show up frequently in thrift shops (and eBay).&nbsp; Often when it looks very much like a familiar piece, but isn&#039;t quite &quot;right,&quot; it turns out to be a Chinese copy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The form itself, the appearance of the clay body where the glaze has blown off, and the fact that the bottom wasn&#039;t trimmed, also resemble traditional Chinese storage vessels.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And there may actually be stilt marks there, just a slight turn to the right of 12, 4, and 8 o&#039;clock, right on the edge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
