    I cannot tell what material or identify the maker of this vase and would like to reach out for assistance? It is 15 inches tall and about 4.5 inches in diameter. It is quite heavy, maybe 6-7 pounds. There is a mark on the bottom which I cannot see very well-the number 33 and some letters appear to be scratched (might start with M). The inside is glazed and the surface of the vase appears mottled (see close up).
    Would really appreciate any insight, I have no idea if it is has any value or not. IMG_4076.jpg IMG_4077.jpg IMG_4079.jpg IMG_4080.jpg IMG_4081.jpg

    Wouldn't imagine so if it has English markings.

    Terracotta is a generic term for a pottery type, used validly in English. It simply means a red clay.

    Yeah, but in pottery terms here, terra cotta gets used for anything reddish!

    Yes, it is a very generic term.
