Unusual Very Large Yellow Glazed Vase w/ Mark.. help?

Hello all!

I'm happy to have found this forum and I'm excited to use it.  I acquired this unusual vase at an auction some time ago, and I was hoping I would have figured out the maker's mark by now but I haven't.  Has anyone seen this mark before?  It came with some Asian pieces but I don't think it's Asian.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

Quality piece. I don’t think it’s Asian. Possibly an MD monogram. I checked The Marks Project website but unfortunately they don’t have an entry for this mark

Great, thanks for checking Naomi! It definitely is a really well-made piece of pottery, and I think it has some good age to it. I thought the mark could be the initials "MD" as well at first, but depending on which way you look at it, it can change. Upside down, or the opposite direction, looks like a fancy "V" inside a circle. Hmm... I'll wait to see if anyone else has any thoughts or info, thanks.
