Featured Did Awaji pottery come made in red clay or stoneware?

Hi,

Happy New Year!!! Am I the only one sitting at home? Anywhooo...

I purchased this from the estate of an older gentleman that served in Japan. He brought this and many other collectibles, plus his lovely wife back from overseas. They were selling their house and downsizing and I was lucky enough to get to talk to them and purchase some of their nice items.

I was thinking this was Awaji but I have not been able to find any evidence that they used red clay? or whatever the material is. I was also not able to find anything in this shape or even near it. This piece does appear to be older. Do you think it is just in their style?

Any and all opinions are welcome!

 

Might be Mexican dripware. It reminds me of some older dripware bowls I have.

 

Mexican - agree with sis

 

Ok, ty guys!! HNY!!

 

Found this. Only skimmed, but I did see they used cream colored pottery clay.

"They each used cream colored pottery clay with brilliant enamel glazes,"

 

Might also be Belgian.

 

Not good pics of one of my bowls but the clay shows on the foot. Other dripware styles are closer to yours.

 

I found this when researching and that is why I figured it might not have been what I thought it was. I just wanted the experts to chime in. (wink, wink) You guys are so good!

Thank you and I hope e1 had a fabulous NYE night!
