Mid Century Sun-like Folk Trivet studio pottery vessel with the letter and numbers

with the letter and numbers I assume referring to the bottle type (and there are more handwritten notations on the back side

Each measures 2 3/8" t x 2 3/8" in diameter

as if she were Narcissus

I might call it mid century modern tramp and it feels like sunshine. 9 3 4" d.
