HELP IDENTIFYING ART POTTERY ART DECO ELEPHANT
Does anyone recognize the maker of this pottery elephant? It is about 6 1/2" wide and about 6" tall. The camera wants to lighten the color. The second photo is closer to the true aqua blue. There is a maker's mark on the inside which looks like the caricuture of two sailor heads. I can make out the words "Made in Beland" but cannot read the rest of the script. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Turn the elephant so it's facing left. Do you see text on the base, specifically "AEBLY"?
