I recently obtained a 13 1/2" tall, white spackled vase, incised on the bottom "c within a c" trademark and "ORIGINAL U.S.A.". I have not been able to identify the maker of the vase, so does anyone know this trademark and the maker of the vase?

Found a few mentions online, seems to be a company called California Originals.

On Etsy there is one listed as
California Originals Pottery White Stucco Pedestal Vase 1950s C-64-3S

Another listed as
Vintage Large Speckled Vase Original USA Shawnee?

And another - the same shape as yours - on Ruby Plaza website, listed as
Vintage Original, U.S.A. Sculptural Planter / Vase
. The description includes:
This stylish planter or vase has the sculptural design of pieces popular in the 1950’s and 60’s. With its clean lines it would look elegant with a single orchid or other simple arrangement. It has a white on white stucco like or over spray finish. On the bottom it is marked with the copyright symbol, Original USA C - 413A. I believe this is a California Original piece but have not been able to document the company for sure.

On About.com there's an article written by Barbara Crews about the California Originals company, although her slant is about their figural jars.

I agree that the Cc is probably a copyright symbol.

Found a vase on Etsy with the same "c within a C" logo and "Original U.S.A." that was sold last year. Seller says it's a "California Originals", and from the description, the seller seems to know what he's talking about. So, I'll assume my vase is also a "California Originals". Thanks to everyone for the leads. Best of luck with your pottery searches.1950's Vase w/ "c within a C" trademark. Who's the maker? 1704058305
