Sure is an odd looking piece. Must be modeled after a Mediterranean pot of some kind but I am no expert on the stuff. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to diggerjeff) Post #: 5

RE: Unknown Pottery - 6/9/2006 12:29:14 AM    capsoda Posts: 7928 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Hey Josh, just brush a little on the bottom to make sure it doesn't hurt the glaze. I have never had it hurt one yet. Use a 50/50 dilution with water. After that a soak in baking soda and water and if it has yellowing bleach and water. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 8
