That's a peasant-style pot.

If we know it's been made by a non-peasant.

If we don't know, it's just a peasant pot. And the laugh's on us.

If we do know, and we know it was sold as authentic by a con artist, then it's a fake peasant pot.

Which has no effect on our appreciation of real peasant pots. The knowledge is annoying, though.
