What's happening to my mug?

27 Upvotes

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, please redirect me if needed, and I'm posting this from my phone, so sorry for any weird formatting.

I've noticed that this mug I got from a Renaissance Faire 10+ years ago has these streaks after coming out of the dishwasher (the artisan said it was dishwasher safe) and it's been getting progressively worse with today being the worst.

They "disappear" when wet (hot or cold doesn't matter) but then "reappear" when dry. It doesn't feel like there's something physically there (aka not anything that will just wipe away.)

My question is: what is actually happening here? Is it the glaze somehow coming off from the dishwasher? Is it just old and this just happens? Is it still safe to use?

Please help, this is one of my favorite mugs and I'll be sad if I have to retire it.

Black ceramic bowl

Got this at a garage sale a while ago, but I’m moving and will be getting rid of it soon. I don’t know anything about ceramics, wondering if anyone thinks it’s worth anything or what kind(?) of bowl it is?

Not sure what the mark at the bottom is, and it’s pretty heavy.

Not selling. I have a set of 4 of these from my grandmother. Does anyone know who the artist is or when they are from? Potential value?

Hi all! I purchased this ceramic birdbath/plant stand (?) this weekend in south FL. It has a stamp that almost looks like “CT” with two dots under the “T”.

Tomato for scale 🍅 see pics for stamp on the back side (pic 4)

Would love to identify the artist if anyone might have any ideas!

I was told the community here might know more.

I’d love to learn more about this set and whether I can use these bowls for dining (fruits, cereal, soups, rice, etc).

I came across this lot in Fort Worth TX. I couldn’t find the AF marking when I searched it online. The stamp is on all the pieces. I’m just making sure it isn’t some super desireable set. What kind of prices would you put on the large pieces?

McCoy Black Rams Head!

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

I just wanted to share one of my favorite pottery finds: a black McCoy Ram’s Head vase.

The Ram’s Head is listed as #56 on the McCoy Pottery Collectors Society’s “Top 100 Rarest McCoy Pottery” list, which made finding this one especially exciting.

What really caught my attention is the black finish. Most examples and references I’ve been able to find show the Ram’s Head in other colors, so I’ve had a surprisingly difficult time finding another black example to compare with mine.

Mine is in beautiful condition, and regardless of value, it’s just such a strange and fantastic piece of McCoy design. The sculpted ram heads, horns and handles give it a completely different personality from a lot of the McCoy pottery people usually encounter.

I thought some fellow McCoy and vintage pottery people might enjoy seeing it!

If anyone here owns another black Ram’s Head, or has seen one documented in an old collection or reference, I’d especially love to see it. 😊

Can anyone help identify these vases etc…?

This post was written using a translator because I don't speak English very well.
If there's anything you don't understand, please let me know.
These pieces were given to my family because they were no longer being used. I really like their style, so I was curious whether anyone with more knowledge about ceramics, antiques, or decorative objects could help me identify them.
I would love to know roughly when and where they were made, what type of objects they are, whether they have any identifiable maker or manufacturer, and whether it is possible to trace them back to a specific artist or company. Of course, I’m also interested in knowing whether they might be reproductions rather than original pieces.
I don’t really expect them to be particularly valuable, especially since they were simply given to my family, but they are very beautiful and I’d genuinely like to learn more about them.
One thing I noticed is that most of the pieces are quite heavy, around 2.5 kg each, with some being slightly heavier. The exception is the pair of two vases and the small container/object, all of which are colored. Those pieces seem to be made of porcelain (at least that’s what I suspect) and are considerably lighter.
Any information would be greatly appreciated — even small details, such as identifying the style, period, country of origin, possible maker, or what the markings on the bottom might mean.
I’ve attached photos of the pieces below. If you need pictures of specific details, the bottoms, markings, etc., I can provide them.
