Pottery Thepot Or Africa Pottery

Visibly old and fortunately not varnished afterwards as happens too often, this terracotta pottery seems to be sub-Saharan and presents a pastillage decoration. For the sake of symmetrical decoration, the potter chose to include the beak in the second socket and even if there was a black slip, this one is confused with the traces of coal which prove that it went to length Fire, probably to warm the water of the tea that one appreciates during the cold nights of the Sahara or just below! 13 cm high for 23 cm in diameter, it has two beaks and a perforated plug. Early twentieth century, even 19th century. Small indentations on the periphery and at the base.
