    I think this is really beautiful and it definitely has some age to it. maybe 1920s? what do you think? what is this kind of raised decoration called?

      A beauty and it looks old.
      Is it a form of incising?

      I'd only be guessing, but I love it!

      i think that this is a really good one. just my intuition.

      thanks lisa! i think that the imperfections show more in the photo than in reality. does anyone know what it's called when clay is carved away - leaving a relief? this is obviously a mold made piece imitating that method.

      i found one! http://www.eliteauction.com/catalogues/111911/view.php?id=505

      mine is probably early 20th century because of the 'China' mark.
