Featured blue art pottery vase, arts & crafts - ish

This vase is 10 1/2 inches tall, glaze and shape look arts & crafts era to me. Can't make out the signature. Looks like the first word stars with G, and there is a number above that looks like 124, or 127 with a European 7. Hoping someone will recognize the signature. The signature photo has been enhanced with contrast.
I have done various searches with those numbers and art pottery or pottery vase, and not come up with anything.
I may have asked about this vase several years ago, but I could not find it in search, so may have been on a different forum
Thanks for any insight.

 

I'd be looking at Belgian or possibly French.

 

Carol rice?? 164. Or possibly it is 167 w/ crossed 7vv

 

Thanks. Quick searches on Carol Rice and using the numbers 164 or 167 did not yield. I did see a few pieces of Clifton pottery with similar glazes and shapes, but the mark is not even close.
I thought the small word underneath might be nice, so I did some searches with nice, france and didn't come up with anything.
Will continue searching...

 

The name is Carol Price, apparently from California. Here are two different listings showing the name more clearly, LINK, LINK.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Here is the same vase on Worthpoint.

The number looks like 124 from here. Probably not much help; I'd bet it's the glaze color or style number.

 

I'd never have guessed California with that glaze. Nice pot.
