Hi Folks,
I have attached a link to a somewhat unusual ceramic vessel type, at least one I haven't seen before …
http://s1372.photobucket.com/user/MarkBranstner/media/Mobile%20Uploads/Creamer_zps85f46c4e.jpg.html
I will note that it has what appears to be a relatively coarse yellowware paste, with a nearly clear exterior glaze and an opaque white interior. The more-or-less random decoration is in a brown transferprint, suggesting fabric impressions. There is no bottom mark.
To my eye, it has a little bit of a late eighteenth century feel, but is far more likely post-Civil War aesthetic movement, as it has a certain Asian feel to it.
But I would just be guessing …
Anybody seen anything like this before?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
