[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4322023, member: 2844"]Decorative ware from Safi, Morocco, as s_i_s said. Pretty new. The marks are probably just for this lid goes with this pot. :facepalm:That person should be fired.;) Does it smell of perfume? Moroccans use scented 'body butter' and I can imagine this having been a gift pot for body butter, but there is no proof. It is certainly not a flask, so perfume and oil are out of the question, and since they had no idea of the origin they were probably guessing. This page has a nice overview of Moroccan pottery including some Safi metal decorated ceramics: [URL]https://www.veniceclayartists.com/pottery-of-morocco/[/URL] A Safi vase from the link: [IMG]https://www.veniceclayartists.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/PC0085YEL1.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
