Russian Vase

This is a vase made in Russia in the 19th century. While I found the mark in one of my Russian porcelain books it just stated unknown maker so it was of little help. Maybe someone out there knows more and could send me a note to let me know. I'd appreciate it! The vase has a nice shape to it with three relief design rings around the bottom end of the neck and is hand painted with a typically Russian floral design on white ground broken up by cobalt blue ground panels with a gold trim to it. Some gold trim around the edges of the panels, a thick gold band between the panels and the relief rings and the neck was fully gilded as well. The piece is in decent condition with no chips but does have heavy wear to the gilding as shown and a small hairline coming from the lower end of the enck and going into the relief rings.It's stable and won't go anywhere and not terribly obvious. It's a nice and rare example of Russian porcelain but sadly the maker remains unknown for now. The piece is just over 6.75 inches tall and has a diameter of about 3.75 inches at the widest point. The top inside is glazed otherwise I would have said it was missing a stopper and be a perfume or dresser bottle but it seems to be a vase. It is marked underneath with an underglze letter K mark The letter is the same in the cyrillic alphabet) as shown as well as an impressed letter K. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
