This style of a decorative crimped rim is inspired pottery of Chester County, PA, circa 1860. Small flower pots were part of a country potter's seasonal offerings, augmenting their "bread & butter" of utilitarian crocks and jugs. Flower pots of this period were normally made in either salt-glazed stoneware with cobalt blue decoration, or were lead glazed, red earthenware with manganese decoration.
My pot is unglazed white clay or Terra Rosa clay, It has a drainage hole, but comes with a saucer that has been treated with acrylic sealer to resist water. However, be careful where you water the pot; if it is overwatered, water will fill the saucer and could damage fine furniture.
