The bottom one might be an etching of Rothenburg or another German city. I can’t make out the signature, unfortunately.
Still working on the signature for the top one…
A terrific piece of kitschy art will make my heart skip a little when I see it. These just make my heart sink.
Thanks so much!
This order is a story I’ll have to tell soon. Craziness.Ok, I’m trying a work-around. I’m just printing shipping labels from some of the orders and adding the same tracking numbers to the others. Some of the orders had free shipping so I think this will be ok. Would still love ideas in case this comes up in the future! Thanks!

I’d say maybe Aztec or Mayan — just a gut feeling.

I’m not finding anything else by K. Echols out there. I did various searches of auction databases and artist databases as well as general Google searches and couldn’t find anything. It seems like a nice art-fair type of piece, which someone will probably like for the price range Jay described.

I did find these from a listing on Etsy, but the listing has expired.

They look like they could be used for soy sauce or other dipping sauces, if the size is right. It’s hard to say if that’s an intentional crackle glaze or just massive crazing; there’s significant staining on the underside of the pieces, so it could be crazing.
I really don’t have a sense of the age of these. To me, the large white lettering isn’t something I expect to see on vintage pieces, but I don’t really know much about Asian antiques.
What if you put that magic Anthropologie RN number in the listing title? Just a thought. I mean, people probably don’t search by RN, but those who are seeking Anthro clothes will recognize it.
I think it’s “DB” for “Dress Barn.”
Paint by numbers often have the paint applied in distinct shapes with little or no blending of colors. For me, that’s the tell-tale sign… shapes that have been “colored in” with paint to create an image, rather than paint blended and applied in such a way that the strokes are themselves signficant. The piece you posted feels like it is from a pattern or kit but is not necessarily a paint by number… I think a paint by number might be more detailed. I hope this makes sense; I haven’t thought much about it before and am not articulating these ideas well.

Hi!
I think it’s Kawau Kilns.
Found this in a 1969 Government Brochure:

Sounds like the show will generate warm fuzzies in the hearts of thrift store owners and yard sale proprietors everywhere. 😀
