I posted this old clay “decanter” along with another with an applied frog. (Both still not identified so I need help.) Today I discovered faint MARKINGS on this one! There are drawings scratched into both sides ... birds? Definitely a zig zag design on one side, looks like frog legs?. Also note a pie crust “stitching” ... a seam perhaps? Can anyone identify this type of clay pottery? Looks primitive ... but origins? how old? THANKS!!!
Very Intresting..I wonder if used for wine??
Let Me check something...

Hi Brunswick - Appreciate your reply & suggestion. Thanks. Yes I wouldn’t be surprised if my mystery clay pots originated in Mexico. Still researching. Thx again!
