Does anyone know this potter??

About four years ago I purchased a vase at the Asheville Art Museum store.  Somehow the card of the artist got separated from the vase so now I do not know the name.  I think it was a female, but I cannot be certain.  I also think she lived in the Asheville area.  The folks at the art museum store have turned over so much no one could help me and Frank Thompson didn't recognize the potter.  I'm attaching an image in hopes you can help me.  I run an art gallery in Raleigh and wanted to invite that potter to be in a show.  The only mark on the bottom is what looks like an M.  I look forward to your reply.  Lee Hansley, Lee Hansley Gallery, Raleigh
