rumaging around dad-in-laws shop....

Well, we are looking for what will eventually be auctioned off. Seeing what groups of what, we have.
Lucky day! (this beats looking in the creek)....an old tin bread box was sitting on a shelf collecting dust, behind some pieces of black walnut and oak planks. It was kinda heavy. Upon looking, what do my eyes behold. DANG!!!
This whole box contained pottery shards and a few other related items. I believe this stuff to be Anastazi, from the designs and from what I researched.
Here is a bit of it, enjoy.

unknown what this was attached to, about 4" long and 3/8" thick




I have it setting this way to show the design more clearly. Of course it would be on the side of the vessel.



Some more handles, but don't know what the hollow one is, hole doesn't go all the way through.




Here are a few other things, broken, no point of point doesn't go with it. Piece with hole drilled is curious, whatever bored the hole caused ridge on inside of piece being drilled. So would that have been bone? No clue what the round dowel like item might be, it does taper toward one end slightly.











A bunch more, will post later.

The hole is pottery, pushed through before firing it.

Thanks, Marty. Appreciate your remarks.
Lostcauses...that makes sense, and is so obvious, now you point it out. Due to its' small size and shape, I wasn't thinking along that line. Thankyou.

Happy Trails,
