This primitive pot has all the charm and intrigue of a pre-Columbian piece of stoneware. It sits on a small unglazed base, bulges out, then back in to a flare on the top. It is about 3 ¾" tall and slightly over 4" at the top.

Both outside and inside the color is a dark brown/olive, with several places where a slightly lighter secondary glaze is seen. The middle of the pot has some carving on its circumference that is difficult to decipher, suggesting further an abstract nature. At only one point does one see what might be interpreted as a shamrock, or a flower of some type.

The pot is glazed both inside and out, with a small hole in the bottom, making it possible to be used as a small planter. But, it looks its best on a table or in a collection, as there is so much interest in its primitive nature and abstract carving.

A wonderful addition to a collection, or used in a utilitarian way, it would function well as both. The name 'Simenson' is inscribed on the bottom, but its true origin is unknown. This is inconsequential as the piece is so successful at what it does. This would be a good addition to any collection and an asset to any table top
