    Welcome, Jrfinds! Definitely a version of "stoneware" pottery with that rough, unglazed bottom surface. If there are no marks, it's hard to say who or where made.

    Thank you for your answer, I was send this today about stoneware ,Stoneware is composed of fire clay and ball clay as well as feldspar and silica. It is fired at high temperatures, typically 1148-1316°C (2100-2400°F), and is inherently non-porous. The white, gray or brown clay vitrifies during firing, so the surface will be watertight. Stoneware can be left unglazed and still be usable for holding water, but it is more usual to glaze the inside of the vessel, at least.
    Stoneware is harder, stronger and more durable than earthenware. I think it's
    Earthenware
    Earthenware is the earliest type of pottery. It is made from either red or white clay baked at low temperature, typically 1000-1080°C (1830-1980°F). Since it has not been fired to the point of vitrification, earthenware is porous and must be glazed in order to be watertight. It is generally more fragile than other types of pottery.
