Vase marked CLE or LEC, probably European.

Hello, and thank you for letting me join, this is my first post.
I've had this jar/vase for a number of years, it was in a larger collection (if I remember correctly) that included Danish, Swedish and some British pottery. I've been unable to identify who the potter is by using the available Danish and Swedish online resources with signatures, so I am hoping that someone here might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks!

The vase is 11cm in height. I'm reading the signature as CLE, but could also be LEC. The "C" could of course just be a decorative element to the signature.

Upsala Ekeby UE mark sometimes looks like LE, but probably not them.

Thanks for your reply. I had considered it but don't think it is. I've never seen a mark from UE that looks like this, and there does seem to be a clear separation between the L and E, where as UE's signatures always seem to be "woven" together.

There is also the point that this does not look like a UE piece at all :)

Yes, it was just a shot in the dark! Obviuosly a well made piece of pottery though.
