The range name seems to be Fauna, which makes sense but what is the little impressed mark under Fauna?

I've made a new picture of the bottom of the vase.. Yes, now I see the word 'fauna', Stupid that I didn't see that myself.
The lower mark says HV.
And is the letter F in fauna just decorated or is it a cmbination like ZFL, or ZF?
And I thought the topmark VV should be the pottery's mark. Is that true or did I understand this wrongly?

The topmark (VV) looks like the mark from the "Veurse Werkplaatsen'  in Leidschendam, Holland. This was a very small pottery, that produced in the years 1947-1951. But they made years 50's kind of pottery, at least the few examples I saw were so. And I think the decor on the vase looks more like Jugendstil.

So who knows the answer? I love this little vase and I really like to know where it's from.

I've consulted 2 Dutch experts in art nouveau ceramics by email: both experts could not identify the maker of this vase. The suggestion is, that this might not be Dutch, but maybe German pottery. In the 1920's the Meissner pottery also had some modern designers at work. His idea is, that this could be an option, as the top mark shows some resemblance with a crude form of the two swords, the Meissner pottery mark. At least, when compared to these in the book he consulted: Dieter Z?hlsdorff, Keramik-Marken Lexikon 1885-1935, Stuttgart (Arnoldsche) 1994.
Is anyone famiiar with this type of German pottery?
