Sorry, the pictures won't allow me to zoom in like they sometimes do!  Can't even begin to guess!

We know it's stone ware. the style is 1890's or so. but the interior glazeing would indicate a date after 1900. with out further a do. no less than $30 Dollars.

If we could identify the trademark. ?

amiga, try by setting your camera to "portrait" mode (or high-resolution) to take the picture. Then with your photo program, …….. “crop canvas” (save the mark) and then “resize image” (enlarge it) to say 5" square … or …. vice versa. If the picture is shot in high resolution, … really high pixel count, ….. then when you enlarge a portion of it …… it will not appear “blurry”.

OH, and ps, save a "copy" of the picture before you start playing around with it so you always have a 'backup' ..... to try it again.
