<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 51153, member: 37&quot;]This is a thrift store find from quite awhile ago that I just recently ran across while reorganizing.&nbsp; I had completely forgotten about it and had kind of dismissed it as being newer when I bought it.&nbsp; On closer examination, it does seem to have some age with some old repairs to chips in the slip along the edges. Some of these have some color added but they don&#039;t match as well as they could.&nbsp; Others look like they may just have clear lacquer on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only mark is the impressed number 2 in the bottom.&nbsp; Another interesting feature is that the black decoration areas have some iridescence to them that I tried to photograph.&nbsp; This is 5 1/2&quot; tall and about 6&quot; diameter in the body.</p><p><br /></p><p>Questions:&nbsp; </p><p>I assume this is considered slip decorated redware? </p><p>Any other descriptors?</p><p>Approximate age and origin?</p><p>Can it be attributed?</p><p>Repairs hurt or help? Should I attempt to remove them?</p><p>Good item or run of the mill?</p><p><br /></p><p>While I know quite a bit about American art pottery, this is a bit out of my element.&nbsp; Any input you all can provide is appreciated!&nbsp; Pics should enlarge if you click on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12903[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12904[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12905[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12906[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
