<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 9565113, member: 45&quot;]Black-on-black pottery is usually assumed to be&nbsp; Southwest puebloan pottery, or from Mexico, but it is actually made in many other places in the world, also, like China, Tibet, Chile, Colombia, several countries in Africa, Portugal, and Romania, to name a few.&nbsp; And despite several internet sites claiming the process is a secret, it isn&#039;t.&nbsp; It simply is a result of the firing process, called &quot;oxygen reduction,&quot; similar to raku.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although the black pottery from Romania was originally hand-thrown on a potters wheel, it&#039;s entirely possible that some is mold-made today.&nbsp; Based on the form, the method of decoration (usually associated with Barrio Negro pottery, although some Romanian Marginea pottery often looks very similar), and the numbers on the bottom, which usually indicate Europen origin, I would think that this is Romanian, made in, or near, Marginea.</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
