    It is a motto ware candle stick with the motto "Many are called but few get up" and I'm stuck on the makers name and era. I'm sure it is simple but my brain refuses to recognise them. It has got quite a wonky base on it.:wideyed:

    This pottery traded as The Torquay Pottery Co. Ltd., in the early years, although known as the Hele Cross pottery and pottery made between 1908 and 1920 can be found with a rubber stamped, impressed or incised script mark of just Hele Cross or Hele Cross Pottery.

    Thanks blooey / houseful.
