It looks like pottery. Can I see full actual shape. I don't see anything yet.

It seems crudely made, unless that was the intention.

Stoneware is what it 's called. The top isn't completely round. It also doesn't have a seal, so it's probably late 1800's.

Not a bad price. Without any marking they're not as valuable.

Unless you have a pottery expert around for a hands on...kinda hard to say on this one.

Gotta' admit...like Mart said this looks alot like items that we have seen come into our area from Mexico over the years.

Just google "vintage Mexican two handled stoneware" and you will see many similar.

The felt bottom also makes me think Mexico,,,they didn`t use that on old stoneware !!

Personally, it looks new to me. Crudely made by hand, yes. But not very old.
