I recently picked this vase up at a thrift store just because I like the design…it called to me from amongst the hundreds of miscellaneous pieces on the shelf!

I didn’t even turn it upside down to look for a mark until after I got it home. “Merlin” is written in handwritten
script, with “85” right underneath it, then some signature/symbol/??? underneath that. Can anyone tell me who made this?

I am attaching picture. Thanks!
