    There's no markings on this little swirl pot. It's about 3" tall and 3" wide. Where was it made and by whom? is it any good? i think it may be Native American, but not sure. it's pretty and i think it's kind of old, but i'm not sure.

      Agateware is what we call it in Oz. It can be created by using coloured clays or it could be a finish created like paper marbling.
      If the inside reflects what is on the outside it would be a genuine piece of agate ware.

      Reminds me of Nemadji pottery.

      I agree. Nemadji or Desert Sands.
      Its a paint, not a glaze or the clay, so use care cleaning

      yes, it is painted on because it doesn't go through. thanks for your feedback vetraio50, mikelv85, and art.pottery!

      ?? Looks something like Nemadji but their colors are a bit more mute.

      Might it be GARDEN OF THE GODS COLORADO ART POTTERY VASE ??

      Nice pot & interesting post Ho2. I'd not heard of Nemadji so looked it up & found this, you may have seen it..
