<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2779330, member: 8267&quot;]I cannot speak to the origin or age of the vase, but I agree with Anabel that the stripes are likely caused by impurities in the original clay. If it was used as a vase, water would have slowly penetrated and evaporated out through the crazed glaze, carrying the impurities with it. The evaporation would vary with the thickness of the vase wall, which would relate to the internal ridges created as it was formed on the potter&#039;s wheel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
