<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 404848, member: 45&quot;]It&#039;s African, a traditional style of pottery made by Berber women in Morocco.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s frequently mistaken for Native American Indian pottery, since it is unglazed, fired with a pit-firing technique, and the colors of the clay and decoration are similar, but the forms are distinctively Berber, as are the design patterns.&nbsp; Thin black line X and M borders, sometimes filled in with black cross-hatching, are a main identifying feature of Berber pottery.&nbsp; The shapes of the pots made are also unlike the southwest pueblo pottery that they resemble, with water jugs with small rounded handles being one of the main forms found.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you would like a reference, I would recommend the book &quot;Imazighen, The Vanishing traditions of Berber Women&quot; by Margaret Courtney-Clarke.&nbsp; Once in a while Berber pottery shows up on eBay, as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
