This heavily glazed art pottery vase is 9" high by 11" wide.
there is an impressed signature which I am at a loss to decipher.
if anyone has a clue or recognizes this mark, please let me know.
Obtained from an estate of a woman who collected pottery for ikebana flower arranging, lived in Japan during the 1950's & worked with Epcot in planning, design & judging their annual flower shows.
that is all the clues i have! great day,
barbara
Love it especially the shape !! ;-))
I agree-when u have a piece of pottery this fine-u want to kno as much as you can about it-it could be an aliens' makers mark!
I believe i have a vase with the same mark...
Really - u wanna compare notes? give me any hints-this is really a big mystery to me.
what shape is ur vase?
Does it say 'Merida'? that's a town in the Yucatan, Mexico.
Carlos Merida?!! if it is, and it kind of looks like his signature... then you have an amazing treasure here. he was a friend of my family's and we stayed w/ his family in guatemala once and once in mexico too.
Here are two pics of my one... never found out who made it...
Will search for carlos merida right away...

No my signature is different...
hello all-check & his signature is nothing like this one-the impressed mark on my vase seems to start with a W but maybe an M then i see an 8-
oh my-this is one wild goose chase!
hello-cannot believe that i listed this over 2 years ago-still wondering about the signature. it is a wonderful piece of heavy glazed pottery. pl let me kno if u kno!
can you get a better pic of the signature - straight on? maybe w/ some cinnamon or corn starch stuffed in there?
hello ho2cultcha
well, i tried ground nutmeg and baking powder-seems that the mystery has deepened. as u can see fr orig pict, the signature stamp is incised so i am not sure if the different methods have helped w/identity or not. Once again, any info will be greatly appreciated. I'm usually good at signatures, this one has been a puzzle. thx, barbara
