<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 103976, member: 201&quot;]Spring, my husband also conjectured that the rough surface was done to make it less slippery. It&#039;s not lacquer... would have been kind of cool if it were.</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked at it more closely today and what I saw was interesting. The bottom is gray, as is the bottom of the inside of the neck. The top section inside the neck is a goldish-tan substance with a rough texture. Is that so the top it must have had originally would grip inside? Or could it be snuff?</p><p><br /></p><p>Along the outer edge of the rim at the top, the surface is a shiny grayish-white with fine black or dark gray irregular lines. It looks a bit like what you see in Satsuma pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>The red glaze isn&#039;t the solid reddish-brown I thought it was. It has bits of red, gold, and silver iridescence throughout. And the black areas definitely look charred.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I knew what it would have looked like if it weren&#039;t a misfit...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
