I know really old things. However when it comes to antiques, other than native artifacts, I know ‘nothing’.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve always been curious about a broken bowl I found as a lad back in the 1960s. We lived in a small town on the German/Dutch border called Xanton. It’s as far north as the Romans got and there were Roman ruins. We kids would polk around and find the odd corroded coin and ‘bits’ of pottery.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>However, one day I found a smashed ‘modern’ bowl. I collected all the shards that were buried in a layer of mud and glued it together. Yes, I did a crude job and it’s a miracle I still have it a half century later. Now it’s in a drawer here in Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, no interest in value. Likely zero. However could anyone point me towards the age and origin? Is it Dutch or German? In the centre is a figure with a watering can. The green colours on the leaves are not precise. The ornamentation isn’t ‘sharp’ but ever so blurry. There is no mark on the bottom of any type.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it was just some pre war modern piece? I’m clueless. Any help appreciated. Please excuse the bizarre formatting...my first post.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
