Garlic keeper, jar, container, signed pottery

Nice Garlic Jar that measures approximately 4.5” width and a little under 5.5” height. The jar is signed at the bottom (see photos) but unable to identify the artist of the brand. The jar is in great condition without any chips or cracks. Feels very solid in hands. There’s some slight darker discoloration on one of the sides but I can’t tell if it’s a part of the design or something that was added later. In any case, it only adds to the character of this gorgeous Garlic Container piece.
