This is a 10" H vase with no stamp or signature. There are 2 raised rectangular places on the base. It has a slightly bas relief design of fruit and either a crackle glaze or very consistent crazing. Also a drip glaze. In the 3rd photo you can see 2 punctures on one side only near the mouth.
I haven't been able to find anything similar online and would appreciate an experts opinion.
Weller woodcraft? Wild guess...
Thank you EZa, I'm not sure.. I don't see these prominent drip lines in Weller Woodcraft- but perhaps you have seen some examples I have not-if so let me know where I might look for them. And again-
THANK YOU!
I suspect it's a recent Asian import. Discoloration on exposed base clay and sitting ring are consistent with dipping the vase in something to deliberately accentuate the glaze crazing to simulate "age". This is common technique on newer (circa last 20 years) Asian imports.
With the exception of the rim, is the interior unglazed? If so, another clue pointing toward Asian import.
Thank you art.pottery. The interior is glazed but you are probably correct as the crazing is consistent. I appreciate your help!
