I love little carved peach pit baskets

I've been paying some attention to antique folk pottery  jugs lately

The head was clearly molded but the rest appears to have been hand-cut and welded together

and fish-shapes

To my sensibilities, just right. 6 13 16" x 1 15 16" x 7 8". Good condition, nice dry wood patina. One small nick to the surface on one side along the edge of the head, minor.
