<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 4387191, member: 308&quot;]Thank you all for your helpful comments. I tried the pencil rubbing and came up with what I think might 1211R M. I don&#039;t have coffee powder but I do have cocoa powder (thank you Roaring20s for the link which gave me the cocoa powder suggestion). I&#039;ll try that next and will report back if it changes anything about the mark. Thank you, Aquitaine, your manipulation of my photo was of great assistance. I looked at the vase again SIS but can&#039;t seem to find that X or crossed swords type mark. It&#039;s strange but maybe a trick of the light when I took the photo. Those dirt smudges I missed didn&#039;t help. I&#039;ve given some thought to your comment, Marie. The color scheme reminds me of some Brush Pottery Cleo candlesticks I own that use roughly the same color palette. The Cleo sticks date to about 1914. Thanks, crs, for the Rumrill comment but I can&#039;t see this as one of their pieces. I think it&#039;s a bit too early and the pottery feels thinner than Rumrill. And your compliment, antidiem, is much appreciated. I won it at auction as part of a box lot over the weekend with a bunch of non-descript filthy, but intact, kitchen pitchers and thought it was too lovely not to rescue. If I missed anyone&#039;s comments I apologize. I really do appreciate everyone who comments or just looks in on my posts. Now on to try the cocoa powder![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
