Does anyone recognise this? It's marked 766 and LUC VA??? the last letters I can't read but they could be USI giving VAUSI.They are moulded not imprinted or handwritten.

(Mod: Previous post deleted..... Vallauris)

I tried a few photos with talc and wet etc but i'm afraid they're no clearer, the lettering is smudged under the glaze. I've not heard of this maker - do you know anything? is it german?

thanks for your reply,

regards,

jeremy
