Two vessels. 😉

The thick walls and small opening of the tall jug with no handles has remnants of hand painting... it could be a floral Motif I think.. it's very heavy . Remnants of (salt glaze?) on the bottom. The second piece is far more refined, round bottom, sturdy but delicate and I am sure had a wooden stand at some point. No marks remain on the tall jug, no clues on the second small brown spouted. Thank you from all of us here at the store! V76

The pics of the black piece aren't great, no bottom shot, but my first two thoughts were Romanian (Marginea) black burnished ware, and Oaxaca / Mexican, my guess is Romanian.

When I've seen the other piece it's usually a lamp with cork fitting.  I would guess one of the Ohio Valley potteries, like Robinson Ransbottom.

Yes sorry about the brown item completely unmarked round bottom. Now the other jug is even more fascinating to me! Thank you so much I now have a place to start! V76

The second piece is interesting. Depending on the manner of how the black glaze originated it could be a copy of ancient Greek, Roman or Etruscan pottery.  In my opinion it is closest in style to the Bucchero wares of the Etruscans. In terms of function and form I would refer to the shape as a "Guttos". They were to refill ancient oil lamps. The vessel was first filled with oil and the spout was used for the oil lamp's tiny hole at the top. Try looking up the terms "Blackware" in order to view various examples from different  cultures and "Bucchero" to see other examples of Etruscan pottery.

Grrrr.... sideways again. But I think it's a better representation of the color it is a very deep chocolate brown with a gorgeous deep luster
