That criss cross design in the bottom is weird !! Is it etched into it ?? Can you feel it with your hand ??

From the images , looks folksy-artsy to my eyes , what with the (nicely) stylized animals & all .

Bottom sure looks like a canvas pattern (overglazed) where the pot was set to dry ...

no fancy, this is one entire piece that has been made to look like different pieces put together, bottom smooth you'd never guess

its smooth on the outside and chalky inside

I can't tell what its really made of
