    Lovely cup, and unique in that it is glazed inside. Any idea where this may have come from, and time period? I know that it is a copy of a grave artifact. It’s uneven circular shape seems to indicate this item is hand made.

      Incolay stone is a product made from crushed minerals that is named for its "in layers of color" composition. Incolay Studios of California developed the process for creating Incolay in the 1960s to make inexpensive cameo-style jewelry. Schaedler-Schmidt now produces Incolay

      Forgot to mention that yours was glazed on the inside because it's a planter and to protect the outer surface from absorbing water when watering a plant planted in it.

      Here's another example and no it's not hand carved like they're saying, it was made in a mold.
