This reminds me of the fine Antique vases of the Japanese fine pottery makers. This is light and finely constructed from a master pottery maker. This is signed MORCRAY? MORCRAL?
The story goes...I got this at SA for $1.99 today while returning for a store credit.
Thank you Kevin and Thomas for helping me find the answer!!!

Thoscahaba, XOXOXOX
gargoylecollector :))
can anyone help me figure out the maker of the vase? XO
yes ill help you ,
Does it say morecrap?
Thomas, what do you think of MORECRAFT?
Maybe so . It could be. Can you tell the last letter at all?
It's "morecra" something
Thomas, I can only make out L or Y......or I? Who ever made this vase was an true expert. I have seen this workmanship in fine Asian Ceramic pottery...its truly feather light and perfect.
I don't doubt it's a work of art. Do you think it's Asian for export market? It certainty has that look and I would trust your sense of feel.
Thomas, I think this was export from maybe Japan or China? Maybe part of a set of sake cups? Its handmade and old. The feel I get is 1940's-50's? I maybe wrong....the feel and to touch the vase..plus the finish. Its really nice!
It's almost a reminds me of a bottle vase except the bottom is larger. You can tell the influence. The capital M indicates by larger case a name, or title.
Chinese bottle vase. I'm not familiar with Korean and southeast Asian ceramics.
Thomas, I think you are correct!!! I think this is interesting to find out!
Lee don't say old and mention the 1950's.
The potter wrote well in English case so maybe it's Singapore, Hong Kong ?
Thomas...or English pottery?
I doubt I helped any in the discover. Honestly though that's the part I enjoy.
It could be . I have seen that shape before in a small Newcombe piece. The finish was matte blue. If I remember correctly.
Oops Newcomb autocorrect got me
Thomas, could this be from the same company?
Possibilities are Morecrab, Morecraf, Morecral, Morecrat & Morecray.
Google search with inverted commas ....... vase "Morecraf" etc. yielded nothing.
The inverted commas signal that the term must be in results.
Morecraf looks like a possibility too!
Four stilt marks is unusual I think.
Kevin, do you think this is from a small pottery company? The "M" looks familiar....
Arts and Crafts piece. Nice lustre glaze. We call them drip glazes here. How big is it? a Miniature? It would be more difficult to do a smaller version I think. It might be a student in an Arts and Crafts School? Just playing around with ideas. Here in Australia there was a School in Queensland called the Harvey School. A series of pottery exercises were created by Lewis J Harvey that his students completed in an evening college set up. They got progressively difficult. The students work is keenly collected these days - early twentieth century pieces.
Kevin, it measures just under 6 inches....so is this new or old? The glaze is not what I have seen in student pieces...but you are more knowledgeable in this area...
I would say early twentieth century. Arts and Crafts.
No it's not Newcomb . Kevin sounds like the knowledgable one.
Thomas, thank you for all your help...every little bit counts :)))
Nadia, XOXOXO
Lee Did you discovery anything more?
Thomas, no..not after Kevin said it was Arts and Crafts....I think he is correct...the name does not pull anything up.... :(
You never know with artists. I just appreciate them, I may never understand them. It's beautiful .
Thomas, thank you ...I thought so too...and whoever made this was a very good one!!!
I'm inclined to go with Vetraio50. It has many Arts & Crafts features, and I doubt something for Asian export would have been labeled as such or have kiln/stilt marks.
