I might have posted this a long time ago, but still no clue what it is. It's a little bigger then a softball. The outside feels chalky and will leave a chalk-like mark if rubbed on something. (It might just be dirty, but I don't want to try and wash it.)
The bottom is round, I don't think it was made to sit on a table.
I'm wondering if it's just a decorative piece or a reproduction of something primitive. It doesn't really look "used" if it was old, I would think there would be more signs of wear.
The only other similar pottery I can find is a "Turkish olive oil pot" (the first ones that show up on google image search"
Any ideas what region it came from, what it's use was?
