9ʺ w × 3ʺd × 9ʺh

substantial scale

which makes it seem as if it could function as a butter stamp as well

Beautiful Antique Terra Cotta Vessel with Handle glass lantern slide box 9ʺ w × 3ʺd ×I really don't know much about this pot, which I purchased from artist Richard Fleischner, in whose studio it lived alongside many beautiful old vessels from around the world. I think it is quite an old one, with gorgeous color and surface and utilitarian form, I believe most likely made for cooking. My guess is 19th c. Mediterranean. I'm pricing it just based on its beauty and much under valuing it at that! 9" t x 7 1 2" across at handle x 6 3 8" d;
