Beautiful Antique Terra Cotta Vessel with Handle

I really don't know much about this pot, which I purchased from artist Richard Fleischner, in whose studio it lived alongside many beautiful old vessels from around the world. I think it is quite an old one, with gorgeous color and surface and utilitarian form, I believe most likely made for cooking. My guess is 19th c. Mediterranean. I'm pricing it just based on its beauty--and much under-valuing it at that! 9" t x 7 1/2" across at handle x 6 3/8" d; 3 3/4" across inside lip. Very good presumed antique condition, with a few small, old chips around the interior lip, minor. Structurally very sound, solid, and sturdy.
