<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 53059, member: 37"]Those three rubber dots on the bottom are indicative of modern imports. I suppose you could find them applied to old pottery but my experience has been that three indicates new. The wide ground base ring and concave bottom are also indicative. Few old companies would grind their bottom rings as wide (Fulper did) or use a concave bottom. Seeing them together, would indicate new to me. Knowing these clues will help to identify new imports. There is a lot of attractive pottery being made new today. While certain features might not automatically mean new, they are clues that need to be used in identification.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
