✅ SOLVED Snake Design Pot - Pls help identify

phillycheese · Nov 23, 2017

Hello all, I'm new here and thank you in advance for the opportunity!
I picked up this pot at the thrift store but have not idea who could have made this and what period. It looks handmade!
It's kind of light but not that light; may be because wall is thin... No marking at the bottom
I'd appreciate very much any help identify this pot...

First, welcome to the forums. Please post a picture of the bottom.

ok, I got it! There's actually some sort of signature at the bottom but after hours of searching unsuccessfully a while back, I finally got it. I finally figured out the second word which is "PARA" as in "REIS PARA"... afterwhich I was able to get plenty of info on it.... TY all for your efforts! Hopefully I'll be able to help someone on here on other stuffs.... Happy Holidays!

absolutely, not sure if forum allows posting url, but if you Google "Reis Para Pottery", you'll see several products from this same artisan... It's Brazil origin.
