Here's a tribal looking ceramic thing. I don't know what to call it exactly. It measures to about 6 1/4" tall. Would you know where it may have originated from? Is it just a reproduction? Or is it genuine? How much do you think it's worth? Thank you! :D

I am not sure where you are from but if you are referring to Native American, I don't think so. I can assure you it is not from a prehistoric culture. The motif doesn't look like any Historic NA pottery I have seen either. The better pieces of Historic pottery are usually signed also. I do think it is an attractive piece.....hope someone here can give some input to its origin.

Possibly African but don`t recognize any of the figures !! It looks like a pretty modern glaze !! Could be that its just an art piece with no particular meaning !! Is it scratched through the glaze ??
-
The design isn't painted on, it is scratched in.

on this first pic..i see a croc...or maybe its an aligator...i,m thinking central America...or there abouts....

Sgraffito is the technique !! Just means to scratch or scratched !! Its used in many places !! The slip is applied then the design is scratched through the color !!

My father was just bugging me. It's something he picked up.

it looks like an aztec god. My guess is it is from Mexico. the oaxaca region produces black pots

This darn tablet works differently. Here a photo of another. Ebay doesn't work the same.

Surely it's OK to Bump a thread .... it's a common practice on most forums I've visited. A forum is dynamic with users joining all the time with their own personal wealth of knowledge, and existing members may have missed it first time round. I recently bumped a thread on a silver specialist forum, almost a year after the original, and someone came up trumps identifying the design. It's maybe not very welcoming to tell people to take a hike?

I was just merely bumping it up to see if any new members or existing members who didn't have the chance before to take a look at it and voice their thoughts and opinions. Thank you.
