When I picked it up, I was disappointed not to find a mark. So I went in search of how to identify pottery without a mark. I don't know enough to interpret what I found so I thought I would ask all of you. [LIST=1] [*] Clay - the unglazed foot looks reddish to me (see picture) [*] Weight - It seems heavy at 4 pounds [*] The foot is completely unglazed and the drips were not cut off [*] The foot is uneven with a visible mark [/LIST] The other information is [LIST=1] [*]Height - 10 inches [*]Location found - Southern California [*]Two raised lines circle the upper section [*]It has some evidence of wear on the handle, the rim and chips on the foot [/LIST] I don't think it is some undiscovered treasure, but I would like to learn how to distinguish good pottery versus décor. Any comments would be appreciated.
