The pot came from my mother's estate (maybe 60-80 years old?). I've exhausted my research and am now reaching out to anyone who might know what it is.
Thanks.

Nothing on the bottom?
Nope. Thanks for asking.
Or another possibility your planter was made in the style of Egyptian revival. I think the stylised flowers are not tulips, but lotus flowers - the ancient Egyptians portrayed it in very similar fashion.
martika is right on about the style. From the picture, I get a feeling this might be of Japanese origin.
Then again maybe not Japanese. A couple more pictures showing the bottom and a view looking in would be helpful.
Boy, how much fun is this! Thanks everyone. I'm out of town, but will get more photos when I get back (hopefully Friday)....
When you get the time, take a clear picture of the bottom. It can offer some clues in identification regardless if it marked or not.
Think it's closer to 90-100 years old. Perhaps Nelson McCoy or Brush McCoy, Weller or Roseville.
As already posted, a pic of the base will really narrow it down.
I added photos of the inside and base. Thanks.
Well, it didn't help me much. Seeing it on the ground gave me a better sense of the size. It is probably Midwestern American but I couldn't tell you which company made it - hopefully someone else here can. The Egyptian Revival style was originally popular in the late 1890s and had a resurgence with the discovery of King Tut's tomb in the late 1920s.
Thanks to everyone for your help.
