It has no markings (I know the Strikow usually were marked on the bottom-I've seen a good half-dozen of the Mayan/Aztec decanters before) and the top was cut off pre-glazing. The mouth and eyes were also cut out before the firing. They used a glaze that must have had lots of solid chunks in it, it's kinda lumpy. It appears to be white porcelain. It screams 60s, and is probably that old. How tall is the Strikow decanter, and is it just a matte black glaze or did they use black/dark gray clay? Thank you! JonPez
