    hi guys

    found this vase yesterday (5" by 5"), bargain i suspect for 2 quid

    anyone recognize the mark, looks like is says down - something

    searched all last night couldn't find nothing

    thought it was a modern decor vase at first, but the base begs to differ

    must be early 20th century right ?

    any thought appreciated

    Bernard Moore and Moorcroft did them too, however this looks like more like a typical Chinese style sang-de-boeuf glaze to me.

    I started fiddling with the mark and I flipped it, wonder if it actually says ____NMOO_ so maybe something moor?

    or maybe "moops" as in the Seinfeld bubble boy episode?
