greenish/brown planter
« on: February 14, 2017, 02:09:42 pm »
This thing is very rough, like there is sand in the glaze.
It's also dang heavy. Approx. 5 pounds.
It's 2.75"H x 5"W
It's 13.5" L on the bottom and 15.5"L on the top.
It has a gold and black sticker that says Japan.
The bottom has a number stamped into the clay -or whatever it is made of -- 1302
Also, the bottom has a glyph or hieroglyphic character of a beetle or ladybug.
LOL!!
Hard to make out.
