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.

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
