    hi everyone. i've had this little pot for some years now, and always wondered what it's history is. It's just under 4 1/2 inches in height and definitely low-fire pottery. i could probably crush it with my hands. there's a couple of cracks as well as what appear to be pencil markings. something was written on the bottom(again in pencil). i know there's some people here with expertise in these things. any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks

    yup! that's definitely what it is. thank you. but mine looks older; both the art and the base which isn't perfectly flat, also the wear. i wonder if there's a way to date the piece.

    @Taupou may be able to provide an estimate of age.
