Found this pair at The Tiny Shop in Alton.

They were part of a job lot of African pots the dealer had got via a house clearance.

There's a neat hole near the base on the other side, indicating it's a lamp base.
Unsigned.

Yes, very tactile, and love the wrinkled skin-like surface of the glaze as it drips down the sides.

Edited to say: Not raku. More likely to be a manganese glaze.

Nothing remotely African about either pot though and Dennawi sounds like a Muslim name.

I know that there are many Muslims in Northern Africa so it could have been made there but the form is not North African.

Ah, interesting.
I tried various combinations of name and Dennawi was the only one that popped up as a proper name.
Another pot in the batch was stamped TEAL, but a bit plainer than these two
