Hand Painted Pottery

I want to start pottery hobby but want to be good at it.

Are there any schools I can go to learn the science and art of pottery?
I’m 52 years old medical professional right now.

Most art schools/art programs offer ceramics classes, which are "pottery". You can take these classes via continuing education, or you can even do a degree, if you’d like. You can also take ceramics/pottery classes if there are any local "do it yourself" pottery shops near you.

The statue in question appears to be indian. On the bottom it says ROOKWOOD and FAJAENCE or FAJANCE

Yes, Rookwood had two divisions the Art Pottery division in which their artists designed and painted original works of art on their pottery pieces. The other division was the Rookwood Architectural Faience Department. This department produced decorative tiles, statues, garden pieces, fountains and other decorative similar pieces.

The word Faience refers to the colorful opaque glaze on the piece which was usually in a mat finish.

Unless the year is written on the piece it is very hard to determine the year it would have been made. Normally if a number appears at all it is a mold number. The architectural department opened in 1903 and produced pieces until approximately 1928.
