Identified as Drostdy Ware from Grahamstown, South Africa. No maker’s mark is visible on the photographed base. The black glaze makes the narrow neck, long handle and pedestal foot especially clear in silhouette. The supplied identification assigns the piece to Drostdy Ware, although no maker’s mark is recorded on the photographed base. Its attribution is therefore retained as supplied information rather than described as confirmed by a visible stamp.
