Help identifying a small studio vase

Haven't come up with anything and was wondering if any of you fine folks could help me out. This vase is only a few inches tall. Mark on the bottom is along the lines of Nicodemvi. Thanks in advance for any help!

I think it's Nicodemus Pottery. If you google the name you'll see they do a lot of animals but there's also a vase like this one, with handles.

Thanks. I was thinking it was probably them, but the "vi" looking business at the end made me second guess myself, haha.
