Jules SF VIP Apr 24, 2021 #4 Are there any markings on the bottom? It’s not to my taste. It looks heavy. Possibly could be used as a vase to hold flowers.

Aunt Bea SF VIP Location Near Mount Pilot Apr 24, 2021 #7 It looks like an old piece of blackberry pattern majolica to me. Some collectors are fussy about chips and others don't seem to worry about them on this type of pottery. I wouldn't be concerned about the lack of a mark.
