[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 490742, member: 45"]I agree, definitely not Native American, and not "really old," just over-fired. It appears to be a reddish-brown clay (which rules out the possibility of it being porcelain), which was glazed (ruling out it being Native American, as well, since they didn't use glaze on their pottery.) The glaze was either put on too thick, or it was fired too long or too hot, causing it to bubble up. The resulting irregular shaped bubbles broke, leaving little sharp glass-like edges. It may have been an art class project, or a studio pottery project, that obviously didn't work out as intended, and was thrown away, ending up in the brook.[/QUOTE]
