This vase measures 13 inches in height and 7 inches at the widest portion.  Please let me know if you have any ideas about the style and potential attribution.     I have not been able to make a determination as to a period or maker.  It is a nicely balanced piece, and the glaze is finely done, with a sculptural relief of a turtle, or tortoise, . . . .

Can we have a photo of the base, please.

I can't seem to upload a different photo than the one above! But the bottom is unmarked, and the clay is white, or off-white, the same color as you see at the top of the inside rim in the photo above.

Yikes! I figured it out. Here is the picture of the bottom:

It looks as though it's been over fired in the kiln. This may just mean it was on the edge, and is a second, or it may indicate a student piece. The base is a bit uneven which also indicates a student piece.

I'd be surprised if that is a student piece. That's not an easy glaze effect to achieve.

You're probably right. The photos don't do it justice. Could it be Japanese?

Here is another picture, a close-up of the relief sculpture, also showing a better view of the glaze.

It seems to be in the oriental style, but it's a bit too squat in the body and flat in the foot rim to be a traditional form and I haven't found any with gold splatter and turtles, so maybe by a US potter who's been influenced by Japanese/Chinese porcelain. Unfortunately, without a mark we'll have to wait until something similar appears with a label so we can identify it.

I saw some pieces by Heidi Schoop that use a similar glaze. Anybody out there think it might be a piece by her? The base is also similar to what I've seen online as unmarked Schoop pieces.
