If  it's old it doesn't look like it was made here in the states and probably came from over seas. It sure doesn't look like any american indian vessel I've seen.

Looks like a Greek amphora. http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Pottery.htm quite a few examples. pic of one similar to yours: http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/bl/bl_amphora.htm (think this one is in the Louvre) If your piece is hand thrown, could be from The Imperial Technical School for Ceramics and Associated Applied Arts. That was around from 1885-1917. "Each piece we find today was designed by someone and most of the time we will never know the name of the person. In all probability, each piece started with a piece of paper, pencil and watercolor. After the design was completed to the satisfaction of Artist, Committee and Director, it was given a number and we assume that numbers found on the underside of most Amphora today does correspond to a form and decoration design on a piece of paper." from http://www.drawrm.com/amphora.htm. According to most of the sites I looked at, it should have a makers mark on the bottom. Unless, of course, it's a very very old one. I'd look for a number on it if I were you. Either on the handles or somewhere near the base. < Message edited by ironmountain -- 1/14/2012 1:16:07 AM > (in reply to AntiqueMeds) Post #: 19
