Vintage Dead Sea Stone Black 5" Vase with Carved Designs & Etched on Bottom

Description

Vintage Dead Sea Stone black 5" vase with intricately carved designs. "Dead Sea Stone" is etched on the bottom of the vase. It's hard to see except in the last photo which I lightened by editing so the carving would show up. The next to the last picture of the bottom is how the base actually looks.  Base width is 2 1/2" and top of vase is 2 1/4" across. This vase was in my mother's estate. She bought it from an antique store on one of her many trips abroad. However, I don't know the exact age of this piece or which country it came from. Any marks or blemishes on the vase were on it when she purchased it 30+ years ago. No chips or cracks.
