    I asked that question to the guy working at the mall and he said, 'I've seen way uglier.' Maybe.

    Anyway, this was behind other stuff, dusty, overlooked, forgotten, etc. And cheap.

    The only thing I've found online is this thread on collectorsweekly.com:

    https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/289066-japanese-thumbprint-vase


    That site claims their very similar jar is a Japanese thumbprint vase. I can't find anything else like that.

    Does anyone have any other info or leads?

    You can / should also chime in on how terribly ugly it is.

    Thank you--- and happy new year!

    Alright, here it is: Yes, it is ugly. The ugliest thing about it is that they applied those ice cream lick flowers all around.
    Definitely even uglier than Pottery's.;) Congratulations on the sale though.:)

    You know, I think it might be passable if it weren't for the gawdawful glaze. I'm amazed at how much Terry's vase sold for!

    Does that look like "PEN-DA DAISY BRAND" to you?

    Very faint stamp on the rim of mine, that may have said 'Made in Japan'

    If Terry's 'ugly' brought $780,maybe 'way uglier' could bring in 3 or 4 times that ?
