[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 345340, member: 45"]The signature indicates it's most likely a 1965 student project, made in second period pottery class. Native American pottery can be ruled out since it was made from a commercial stoneware clay, thrown and trimmed on a potter's wheel, glazed, and fired in a kiln. Studio pottery can be ruled out, since professional potters don't sign with incised lines like this (looks like it was made with a biology probe), nor do they customarily date their pots. I'd say put some spring flowers and a little bit of greenery in it, and enjoy it.[/QUOTE]
