This unmarked but very pretty piece caught my eye at an estate sale in Bristol, Virginia. The seller could tell me only that it was originally purchased in historic Williamsburg.

Both of these suggestions are based on the brilliance and clarity of its color and rough pontil mark on its bottom, along with the Williamsburg connection details. less
