I got this vase as a gift and have been searching everywhere for something similar, but to no avail. If anyone can help me at least identify this mark, that would be greatly appreciated!
The vase appears to be hand painted with larger dragons on the front and smaller dragons on the back. It is primarily yellow and green.
I assume the 53 means “1953” but not sure – the bottom of the base does appear to be sanded down by a machine.

hi, Your vase has it’s mark painted on it. The Dragon’s. Dragons are the mark of Raffaellesco made in Deruta,Italy. They are hand made and hand painted. I do not know the age or the value but you can get an idea from Italian Imports and on E-Bay. Type in Raffaellesco Italy Pottery. There is one on there simuliar to your’s asking price $300.00
