    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

      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!
    3. getthatmonkeyoutofme getthatmonkeyoutofme, 10 years ago
      I believe i have a vase with the same mark...
    4. Girlietrader Girlietrader, 10 years ago
      Really - u wanna compare notes? give me any hints-this is really a big mystery to me.
      what shape is ur vase?
    5. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 10 years ago
      Does it say 'Merida'? that's a town in the Yucatan, Mexico.
    6. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 10 years ago
      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.

      No my signature is different...
    9. Girlietrader Girlietrader, 10 years ago
      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!
    10. Girlietrader Girlietrader, 7 years ago
      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!
    11. ho2cultcha ho2cultcha, 7 years ago
      can you get a better pic of the signature - straight on? maybe w/ some cinnamon or corn starch stuffed in there?
    12. Girlietrader Girlietrader, 7 years ago
      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
