Description

    Antique african pottery from 1943 during ww2. I believe this pottery to be brought back from ww2 from one of our troops maybe as souvenirs. I bought them at an estate sale and was told many of the old items belonged to a past loved one. The 2 jugs have a language writing on them that i cant translate both on the front and bottom. The bowl says bizerte 1943 which like oran is another part of africa during the war.

Does anyone know what these symbols mean? I have had this posted for over two years, does anyone look at these postings?

(Arabic) Hi I am new here, and just saw your pot/  I love looking up info on things like this. I have yet to find the words  that match yours. I beleave it's Arabic. and I do think your right about being something the troops brought back from the war.. why else would it have a date of 1943 on only reason is to remember where they were at that time.. I will keep looking to see if I can read the writings, I will let you know... The true value on this pot is the serch of  finding out who and why? 

Thank you phoenixguy1954. I have already contacted someone who speaks Arabic fluently and he has assured me the symbols aren't Arabic. I think it's an African tungsten language of which there are many. Thank you for taking your time to help me. I hope you find more information. I really really would like to decipher this.

Thank you phoenixguy1954. I already contacted someone who speaks Arabic fluently and he assured me the symbols aren't Arabic. I did a little research and think its a lost African language tongue. I hope you find more information than me. Really want to know what these symbols mean. Again thank you for taking your time to help.
