Ceramic/stoneware vase

By tess_2700, 14 February, 2008
Description

tess3tessvase2This looks to be a very old vase to me. The glaze looks old. everything about it looks like its been around for a lot of years. Darker around the top like it was baked to long or somthing. I dont know. It Looked pitiful in the junk store so I bought it. It rocks a bit when you set it on a table. Not very streight on the bottom. Cream color. Not as white as it apears in the pics. Around the top is a little darker then the rest of it. There is seam marks on the sides just under the handles and above so must be pressed. There is a number I can barley make out on the bottom. I think its 447/ its hard to see. Then something that may be a mark or just a tiny place where the glaze is worn. The glaze is on the bottom as well just not around the edges that would set on the table. The relief on the front is raised. not sure what it is. looks like a urn or lamp wiith two handles and beads draping and hanging down. I just would like to know something about it. Im wondering who would make such a small unatractive pitiful little thing.
