Can Anyone Help I.D. This Cool/Odd Piece?

Being such a new member here, I thought I’d put up these photos I had stashed away of an unidentifiable piece of “Pop Art?” Ceramic kind of planter. I found it in a local Thrift shop here in FARGO, ND, 14 years ago. I still have it packed away, so not sure of dims, but as I remember it’s about 5 1/2” high X 3” circum. It has ARP stamped in the bottom with Artist Signature. The material used is quite different than anything I had ever found. It has a kind of “fiberglass” netting texture to it.
The exhaustive research I had done on it rewarded me with nada, except I found out about the Contemporary Artist Arp. I believe it was Jon Arp, but could be wrong. And I remember reading about a female ARP that had been using a rolled “resin” type material (which I thought this may have been) because it spoke of the material having a netting-type texture, like fiberglass of phenolic. But that’s where the trail ended .
I have always loved it and taken care to preserve and protect it. If anyone thinks they may have an idea of what/who/when/where, feel free to elaborate! It would be great to find out what it really is! Thanks in advance for any leads!
