Need help identifying signature on studio pottery vase!

Hello everybody!

I hope that someone can help me to identify the maker of a little vase with "dents". The signature seems to read Julie/Julia/Gulie/Gulia??
This item originates from a basement cleanout here in Boston MA USA, so it could be made by an American artist. There are also links with early 20th century Germany in this family. The grandfather was a museum director and National Art Director during the Weimar Republic.

Thanks for your efforts!

Looks typical of post-war US studio pottery. Likely to have been made sometime in the past 40 years imo
