Does Anyone Recognize this Thai? Dragon Pottery Maker.

I was wondering if anyone knew what these markings on the bottom meant. Thanks so much.

I can't see it clearly (old eyes) but I'll wager that one line says Ratchaburi, the Thai town and province famous for its dragon water pots.

 

This would be Ratchaburi, in Thai script:

ราชบุรี

Joint effort. I found the maker ("Ratanakosin" jars factory on Petchkasem Road, tel : 321322-3), but I didn't realise the text on the base mentioned Ratchaburi until you pointed it out.

Dragon-decorated Ratchaburi water pots or water jars are distinctive, so I recognized the look.  OP doesn't give the size, but I doubt this is actually a water jar, which would be at least two feet tall.   It's obviously quite new, and, I think, smallish, so I suspect it is for the tourist trade.

It's the company that makes this pottery and company's phone number. (I'm Thai)
