Mass produced, or noteworthy?

Been given this to sell for charity. Can't decide whether I love or loath it! My gut feeling is that it's a modern import, but I'd like to be sure.
No marks anywhere.
Thanks guys,
Alan.

Looks like it may have been thrown, I think it seems quite a good piece.

I think it's continental, the vase itself looks a bit Scandinavian, but the base reminds me of Italian pots. I'd personally *guess* at it being made in Italy.

I wonder if its missing a lid?

Thanks guys, yes I did wonder about that, although there's no sign of wear or metal traces.

Some Japanese studio potters and the likes of Janet Leach have made pots with "lugs" so I don't think that it should have a lid.

I suspect someone will be able to put a name to it and then we'll all know if it's mass produced or master potter!

P.S. the former is my guess.
