    Hi all after a bit of help if possible, I have a vase that has markings on the base that are W&A L think it refers to wild and Adams longton I have hit a bit of a brick wall with anything after this as much of which I am finding relates to a predecessor to Royal Doulton but the markings appear to be different or to it being an import. Any help offered will be greatly received. Thanks in advance Craig

    Is that from the worthvalue site? if so that is the same I came across earlier. it is ever so slightly different and this one from a an old thread has one that is exact shape and details bar the difference of images colour etc the thread mentions Czechoslovakia and through to Ireland

    Ive just compared the vase to the image you have posted and apart from colours and image is identical the mark is completely different though. this is what is confusing me. Even the wear on the base is the same

    did you look up the mark on thepotteries.org? Many potteries used different marks at different times. Vases look identical except for the decoration.

    Here are the marks shown in Godden's book of marks and as mentioned, doesn't show your mark but does mention marks with initials.

    The Worthpoint listing does have the pottery name of Wild and Adams so if the same body, at least you know it "might" be by them.

    Thanks it’s interesting to see the bottom two marks I’ve seen on various sites and also on the one shown on worthpoint so I definitely think wilds & Adams’s are the potters. just to find out about them now. And try and date this piece.

    I'd say Irish. Them is shamrocks, sort of. It's not a Wild and Adams mark, nor is it their style.

    from my research this morning it appears they may be Czechoslovakian. The marks are not present in any documents as relating to Wild and Adams.

    Says Made in Ireland though. Of that period, it would say Czech or Czecho-Slovakia or some variant. It's 1920s/30s with that air brush work.
