After the Flea Market on Sunday, I stopped by the Concord, California Antiques Fair. The city has it the 3rd Sunday of the month, from April to September, one of my friends at the Flea, reminded me that the City was having it. I was able to find a few things there, This blended clay pottery vase/cup, was one them, the name on the bottom looks like Byron, but not sure. It has a clear glaze inside, and just over the rim, and the rest is unglazed, the color is the clay/pottery. Any information or ideas on who the potter is? Much appreciated!
Thanks for taking a look, any questions, or comments, welcome! :^)
i think it's bulgarian.
Agate ware.
Thank you for comments, Kevin, and h2c, I'll try searching, using those, to see if I can find one like it! :^)
Thanks for the love!

Thanks Kevin, the agate ware made the difference! :^)
Here's another YouTube video on how Byron scrapes down the clay:

Thanks for the love Deepseas72, I hope you were able to watch the videos! :^)
bb2 was here, and aura, thank you both, for stopping by, and giving some love! Very much appreciated! :^)
nerikome! it's an old japanese technique.
i guess nerikome is a little more complex, because it involves making a repeated design by cutting and pasting sections of agate.
Yes h2c, a lot more complex, thank you for your comments! :^)
Here's a Mosaic Pottery Vase by Jean Gerbino Vallauris, on Etsy, like a vase I got a few years ago, also more complex, made more like a coil pot, by stacking the clay, he developed his technique, over years, before he perfected it:
