Hi Michele

We need pics!! {later sent and uploaded above} You promised to send some, remember? 2 or more photos into one before posting, please.

I don't know about this item, but I found a reference to "Old Sleepy Eye Pottery" in association with 'Indian Stoneware'. This is English, I think.

Also English was a chinoiserie type pitcher I saw said to be dating from the mid to later Victorian period 1870s. It was both transfer printed and hand painted. The maker was described as being 'unknown' but there was a J on its own (not accompanied with an 'M') underneath a large circular laurel device with the three separate words:-

INDIAN

STONE

WARE

I have no clue what that's all about. I also saw some actual Native American wares marked with 'Indian Stoneware' as a backstamp. These were later 20th Century.

Anyone know, please shout.

Hope this helps.
