<p>[QUOTE="Desertau, post: 9830937, member: 86775"]OK, so the inside for the most part is unglazed, that makes more sense to me and how I’d do it myself, the picture looks like the inside is glazed to the bottom. My guess it was never intended to hold anything it is a beautiful large decorative vase. As far as age this I’m only guessing but not to old possibly from a container full of ceramic pieces made to export but could as easily have been for domestic consumption. I don’t see where the bottom shows signs of years of sliding it around due to the weight of picking it up and no trace of grime build up from years of dust and oils inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>but guesses from photo observations only, a better understanding of the raw materials would be more conclusive unfortunately I’m just speculating.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
