Bronze Glazed Vase

This vase is about 15 cm tall, with a beautiful matte-metallic bronze glaze. It is signed PW (or Md, if seen upside down), which is not a signature I recognize. I am fairly sure this is the work of some local shed potter, but it's quite attractive looking.
I'm putting this under midcentury pottery because the shape of it makes me think of that, but I have no actual information on this piece. Anything you could tell me would be nice!
