Any assistance you could provide as to value is appreciated. I picked this up at a yardsale in Eastern NC for 3.00 dollars . The makers mark I was able to locate in a google e-book “A Book of Pottery Marks” by W. Percival Jerris, printed in 1897. It is mark #82. It is a shield/crest with a wide-line diagonal in the center, M on the bottom and K on the top of the \. There is a small crown at the top, which is difficult to make out. It is impressed into the clay, The vase/cache bowl is about 6” tall, 9” length, 5” wide, the bowl is about 4” deep. There is crazing on the interior and a few small chips. It weighs about 1.5 pounds.,
It has vibrant colors and I believe was handpainted (the colors blend together and there is some overlap in a few places). Its got a high glaze on it. The bottom clay is a light beige.
