QUESTION: Hi again,I sincerely appreciate the time you take looking at this.

ANSWER: Dear Lumin,
Thanks, I'll try again with this stamp. Usually the stamp identifies the pottery and age. I don't recognize this one right off hand, but will work on it.

Answer
Dear Lumin,
Here are some other resources you might check with;

OR you might want to take it to your local antique dealer. Often, they provide an appraisal service.

I'm sorry, I checked all my resources. I'm not an antiques expert. I hope this helps. Leisha
