I sell online. A friend gave this to me to possibly sell for her. My friend was a cleaning woman. She received this from customers. They paid her to close down their house when they moved from Tucson to Colorado 20 years ago. They also said she could take anything they left behind. This pottery was one of those pieces. I suspect this was purchased in Tucson, though the collected art from around the world.

Hi Timothy,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
That signature (Levy) doesn't match any of the studio art potters I'm familiar with, suggesting it is comparatively recent or the potter has a small studio / small body of work, none of which has come to auction previously. I've valued it based on works comparable to it in size,
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
A vintage American studio art pottery polychrome glaze earthenware vase
possibly Southwestern United States, 20th Century
Of ovoid form with pinched neck, the body decorated in a vibrant glaze palette, marked to the base "Levy."
14 1/2 inches high,
CONDITION: two small firing cracks to underside of foot but otherwise appears to be in excellent condition
PROVENANCE: owned by a friend of client, acquired in Tucson
$600-900*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
