Hi there,
few years ago i founds this vase in my grandfathers house when he passed away.
I always thought that it's been made from clay or some sort clay mix with something else..
Few days ago (on bank holiday day) i had a guest which stated that it is not made from clay and he said that it is made from some sort rock or mineral.
I'm very curious what it is. Would be great to hear some opinions on that one.
Some links to pictures below.
Cheers
