Title: Sang de boeuf umbrella stand

I think this is a newer piece because it has a mark on an unglazed bottom.  I am wondering what the mark says if it is readable.

These pictures are not suitable to check on anything. Shape? exact color, age signs? base consistency? mark characters? all are inaccurate with such images.

Thanks.  I will try again.  I have problems with the sizing.

The lighting is also wrong...colors are sometimes extremely important when evaluating age or authenticity. This is especially then the case when monochromes are involved. Closeups of glaze, base, etc. are important too.
