Identification Score: 80%
The shape, style, and hand-painted floral motif match well-known Arts and Crafts pottery from the early 20th century, though lack of visible maker's mark or backstamp in the provided image requires some caution.
Authenticity Score: 75%
The materials, hand-painting, and wear are consistent with genuine Arts and Crafts pottery, but the absence of visible marks or signatures in the supplied image prevents full confirmation. If there is a mark or signature on the base, this could increase confidence further.
