<p>[QUOTE="GaleriaGila, post: 155187, member: 993"]I haven't had my alkaline pottery lesson yet, but from what I just scanned, some of it is not very shiny... a couple of examples make me think dullness is a sign of age. I also just read that alkaline glaze is a defining characteristic of earlier Southern pottery, and wasn't used much after 1900, according to SE Antiquing nand Collecting Magazine. Interesting how the history of Southern pottery was influenced by the rise and fall of plantations and post-civil war economy. Yes, the handle is unusual, it seems. It's very appealing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
