Vase measures approximately 7" high by 7" wide and the opening is 4" wide.
This vase is adorned with sunflowers on a blue background and has a iridescent finish around base and rim. I acquired this vase at a local estate sale. The previous owner always purchased a special item wherever she traveled and this was one of them.
What is the signature Manuria?
The pot is American raku, and therefore is decorative only, not meant to be used as a vase (unless for artificial or dried flowers), since it is not waterproof.
Since tens of thousands of studio potters, students, and just interested individuals have fired raku pottery in workshops, classes, and backyards since the 1960s, it's probably not going to be possible to find out who made this.
