    Hello everyone - I'm calling this a vase although I guess it could also be a candlestick. It won't really work as a pitcher since it doesn't have a spout. Anyway it's about 6 1/2" high. It is unmarked and has three stilt marks on the bottom. There's gold sprinkled into the glaze on the handle and top ring. I think there's a better name for this glaze than "blended" but I can't seem to recall it. Can anyone give me any info about it like possible maker, age, country of origin, or a better name for the style? Thanks much!

    Well the trouble is it has no spout for pouring. Maybe a lamp would be more likely?

    I see many olive oil jugs with handles & no spouts....

    Oh I see what you mean now. Forgot all about these - usually only see them now in restaurants. Still I think mine is more on the decorative side.

    I think it's an oil lamp, also.

    It looks like a Rockingham glaze to me.

    A wild, going way out on a limb, WAG.

    J.S.T. & Co. of Keene N.H.. The VERY early (art pottery wise) predecessor of Hampshire pottery.

    Like I say...just a wacky hunch, I could never be sure without it in hand and even then...

    That's an exciting possibility! Off to research Rockingham glazes and J.S.T. & Co.! Thanks everyone!

    Hello folks - just reporting back. It's Chillicothe's Florentine pottery from Ohio. The factory was only in existence from 1901 to 1905. It is a vase - It was ID'd on the Vintage American Pottery Identification facebook page.

    I was told most of the shapes made by this pottery were purely decorative.
