Featured Picture this Pitcher

Any thoughts on this pitcher? Was identified by seller as "European", perhaps German or French? About 8 1/2 inches high appears hand thrown with applied handle, spout and rosettes around the top. Very thin pottery! Not very precisely made. Drip glaze. Thanks in advance for any help! -Joe

 

I think it's Mexican.

 

That's interesting. Is the shape or glaze that gives you that impression?

 

Similar glazes can be found in Spain and México but -- to my eye -- the shape doesn't look right for either. This is loza verde from Oaxaca.

Thanks. I did a search for Mexican Drip Glaze pitcher and did see some similar drip glazes but no like forms as you said

 

Looks like someone's initials along the edge....but not very clear....

I'd be thinking more WWI-era American art pottery, but I'm no expert.

 

Thanks - didn’t see that!

 

Thanks. Most of those were slip cast, this one is thrown and quite thin. Maybe just studio pottery.

 

It looks like a coffee pot without its lid.

 

Maybe Awaji: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265187513217

Wow, thanks! Very very close! Thanks again!

 

Thanks! Very similar also. Now I can research re Awaji vs Oaxaca. One has to wonder if one is misidentified in the links, or is one a copy of the other. Very interesting!

 

I like these even better than the Awaji idea, so maybe that was their wishful thinking?
