Picked up these weird round shaped pottery form. At the top it’s white with three small decorated eggs laying in the center. Theirs multicolored glaze around the lower round shape and to add even more mystery theirs seven stars affixed to the glaze under the white rim. It stands 7 inches high and about 6 1/2 inches across. This piece is signed at the base but I can only make out the first letter W. I like interesting things and this one got me stumped. Any help would be great. Thanks for looking.
Does the white part lift off? Is it hollow? Glazed inside?
Is there any tiny opening under the "egg"- shaped stones where a thin wick could be placed?
I as those questions because I've seen oil lamps unusually shaped with the flame seemingly coming from pebbles.
If you put water in the depression with the egg-shaped stones, it could be a little "watering hole" for birds and butterflies.....acute little garden feature near some flowers.
Hi Watchsearcher, the white part does not come off. I believe the lower part is partially hollow. There must be a small hole near or underneath the three small eggs because when I cleaned it, some water entered and I had to turn it upside down to let the water drip out.
Loveit! Try reducing the brightness on the photo with the mark, it may makeit easier to read
Very Nice Indeed !!!
