GREEN PK VASE THAT IS LUMINESS UNDER UV LIGHT

I have inherited a green vase that has a PK in a circle at the very side/bottom of the vase.  There are markings on the bottom.  When I put it under my very small uv light it looks like there are , I almost don't know how to explain it, but it isn't green, it has sparkles??? I can't think of another word other than luminous but I am not sure that is correct either.  The color green is not shiny and it must be old, my mother said she got it from my grandmother.  Has anyone ever herd of such a thing?  I am downloading the pictures right now.  I most likely will have to do some editing to them if it is even worth posting.  Would love to hear what anyone thinks.  Thanks

According to my pottery marks reference books, the PK in a seal type mark is for Philip Knight of Lancing, West Sussex. The entry in miller's pottery and porcelain marks (Gordon Lang) states, " Studio-type wares, animals and portrait busts were produced from 1950 ... impressed seal-type mark with initials in relief was used from 1962."

That does rather seem to match yours... but I have not been able to find any other examples of his work online to be able to compare for you...  I'll ask some folks who may be able to help and come back to you.
