    :joyful: I got this in an auction box lot. It is unmarked and stands 5 3/4 inches tall. I don't know much about pottery pieces but it made me curious. Glazed under the base but unmarked. DSC02911.JPG DSC02914.JPG Probably Japanese? Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

    Geez, that is pretty ugly. I think some sort of Japanese censer pot. But slapdash effort for the Western market. :hilarious:

    Does appear to be a Satsuma censor pot without the Satsuma.

    Indeed it is Gandalf-Born and likely bred at some 60's or 70's Ren Faire or Craft Fest.Old 'Tree Beard' looks a little startled,maybe he just got visited by some pooch anxious to relieve himself ?

    I'm not entirely sure if those are bad, or deliberately bad.
