Help Identifying Vase

This is one of many Thrift purchases...I bought it because it was really different looking...I initially saw it while considering whether or not to purchase a vintage brass/glass top coffee table priced at $45...it would have been a nice keeper or a good flip.....anyway...I missed out....when I went back today..the table was gone...and this vase was still there......I'm still feeling a little blue about the table...so I'm going to post a pic below)...getting back...the vase is 8 in ht x 5 in width at widest point...the color is a matte charcoal....the vase maybe more recent than aged ...I can make out Mt. Sheta written on the front....but the rest seems to be in another language??....maybe this is a foreign souvenir?.......from Ireland? or Ugoslavia?....(I'm guessing)........information on this will be much appreciated

 

It was really a great table....at a great price.....I was trying not to be impulsive....(of which I can be when I see something great for a low price, its really a internal struggle to leave it)....then thinking about the fact that many Thrift stores no longer have employees help load furniture into vehicles...so I was thinking who am I going to get to help me load and unload?....so I missed out

 

According to this listing, it is an
Original Russian Ceramique Georgie Muxeta (anibis.ch)

 

I have no idea. I was just doing some research. Try googling the name or see if you can find the Russian character equivalent and try that.

 

That script is Georgian, I think.

 

It's certainly different. I'd have walked right past the table; brass brings back bad decorating memories of living rooms past although to a Gen Z or Millenial it would just be a nice vintage piece.

 

You always amaze.

 

It doesn't say Mt. Sheta... it is meant to be a transliteration of the letters that go down the right side, мцхета. The transliteration into the English alphabet would be Mtskheta, which is a city in the country of Georgia. The city is considered historically significant.

The reason I knew it was Georgian is because my delightful slightly eccentric cousin sings in a Georgian choir in London. She's been to Georgia many times. She'd have been one of those mad female Victorian travellers on a mule.

 

I think I would love to know her.

 

She's huge fun.

My whole family are slightly deranged, in a good way.

 

I can tell.

 

Are you sure we're not cousins? Slightly mad sounds pretty normal to me!
