<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 340348, member: 6444"]I saw this, saw it had age, thought it would be a good study piece for cheap. Its missing its lid so clearly has no value, but it looks old - I'm guessing somewhere in the 19th century though I don't know where from early to late. No marking, but the transfer print with hand painted accents and snake(?) spout might help date it. Fairly large but holds only about 4 cups. I have to admit I was inspired by the thread on here about the $2 pot that sold at auction for a gazillion - I KNOW this is completely different, but I want to learn old pottery better - is this soft-paste, hard-paste, or true porcelain and how can I tell the difference?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]114417[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114418[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114420[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]114421[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
