I could really use your help identifying this vase.
![URL removed]
It stands 10 1/2" tall is 5" across the top and 5 7/8" across the bottom.
It has a very hefty feel to it and weighs 3lbs 5.2ounces.
The blue glaze is what I would consider Delph Blue but darker (or deeper) than what it appears in the photos.
Hand thrown and the glaze gets thicker towards the top with a subtle drip.
It ‘feels’ and looks like a good piece but I have yet to be able to make any progress on it’s identity. The mark is quite distinctive.
Can you help? I’d appreciate any knowledge you can share with me. You can get more details and see more pics in my booth (Click on link, below right).
EDIT 7/5/12: Thanks Yettalass. That’s probably pretty sound advice since I’ve gotten no responses here or through Twitter. I just like to give my fellow Bonanzlers a shot at it first. I appreciate your reply.
EDIT 7/6/12: Thanks G. Hmm. Russian. That’s an interesting thought and one that hadn’t crossed my mind. Normally I’d just list it but it really does have a good feel to it. Don’t want to be sorry down the road. And I thought this piece would be an easy ID. LOL.

Pottery marks are so touch to find. I tried and tried to find one on a trivet and pour bowl that was a p and e. You might try posting the mark on a pottery site and see if someone recognizes it. Yetta

It seems Russian to me for some reason. I don’t know the mark though.
