    Got another learning item, was .65 at the thrift. There was another dealer and he picked it up and said that "the yellow base" was indicative of a certain type of pottery, School of Mines, possibly. He didn't get it, so I thought I'd buy as a learning tool.

    Looks like someone used it for a plant base possibly. Completely unsigned. Anything to be learned from the photos? Thanks.

    It's going to be difficult to get a manufacturer ID. Almost all the Ohio pottery companies made small bulb bowls like this.

    Thank you. Probably nothing worth resale, but would make a nice base for a plant. :)

    Zanesville pottery. Base is indicative.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I like the color, and also like "learning" threads.

    Thanks Brad. I guess this "dealer" had it half right -- that the yellow base was indicative of something!

    Appreciate you taking a look.
