    I found this bowl today and purchased it even though it was a little damaged. There's a crack which does not go all the way through. I don't care. i think it's beautiful! Can anyone make out the script? or where it's from?

      It appears to be from Safi, Morocco.

      thank you Congcu! i haven't taken the time to look it up lately, but that sounds completely plausible.

      Safi is the pottery capitol of Morocco. See: https://marocmama.com/safi-the-pottery-capital-of-morocco/

      i think this might be an older piece - 1940s-60s. what do you think?
    5. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 3 years ago
      it feels really nice in my hands.

      Very hard for me to tell. The techniques and motifs have not changed for many, many years.
      You may want an expert to appraise it.
