Cobalt Blue Pottery Vase / Signed / Circa 20th Century

I braved the Wednesday madness of Salvation half price sale and came home with a few nice things. First up is the 10" pottery vase. I love the intense cobalt blue and the subtle galaxy design the glaze produces in a softer sky blue. I took two pictures. Outdoors shows the overall color beautifully. While indoors the pattern shows up and the brown highlights at the rim. It is signed on the bottom but I can't figure it out. I photo shopped and inverted the colors and set it to relief to make the insert pic of the signature a bit clearer. Any guesses ?? It has a certain Asian flare in the shape. I think this is a notable piece by a very good artist. -Mike-
