Perhaps it is Persian, although I don't know the siggie. The glaze is amazing.

I'm a bit confused about this signature
why would you have a glazed signature at the bottom
it would have been fired flat as there is no indications of support on the bottom so the item fires evenly
I see no marks that it sat on a support to elevate the item
Sorry, but the bottom imprint looks like it was squeezed from a tube

How about it having been fired upside down?

the glaze looks like its flowing from the top down
is the signature carved into the base or is it a positive

Hi the signature has definitely been carved into the base,it looks like they have then coloured it turqoise/blue

Does the coloring in the siggie feel waxy? If so, I'm wondering if it's a bit of wax/wax resist that settled in during firing.
