Here is one from Russia, the orange label says "Tekt".

A large vase/urn about a foot high and across. It is glazed and has dark colours showing old sailing ships (maybe chinese junks) mosting green brown and black. Underneath it says "COURT I" no 325. I looked on so many sites and cannot find it anywhere. Think it maybe William Lowe and would like to know if it valuable as it was my grandmothers. Hope someone can help Regards Virginia
