question from: thompsonbrendal@gmail.com

Question:
The black crock in the attached has two handles, one on each side, which look like a swan’s head/neck continuing the winged body on the side of the bowl. It is approx. 4-1/4 inches high and 4-1/2 across the bowl. The bottom has indentations and multiple dot designs, but nothing clearly distinguishable.

Can you tell me who made this, its functional purpose and approximate value? Thank you!
