Real nice stuff.. that type of painted pottery is very diagnostic.
Looks like it came from a very sheltered area.

Any chance of seeing the bottom of the bowls? I know in ancient time around here they had feet on them. I have actually found a foot of a bowl.

Nice stuff. I would give anything to find that pretty brown pottery with the designs. It is really pretty.

Think maybe it has to do with "fitting" the owners hand tom. If you tried it, it really just feels more comfortable, more so than the "round" ones..... custom made maybe? lol
