<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 48841, member: 308"]Did a little more digging in the Wade Ireland book. I found two vases with Mark Type 40B. Both were 4 3/4" high and look like a high gloss glaze. They are a pretty standard vase shape (long necked and round) and the captions identified them as lat 1970's to early 1980s production. It goes on to say that that at least one of the vases was designed by Kilkenney Design Workshop. It should be noted that the mark on your vase does differ from the mark shown in the book. I wouldn't let that worry me too much as Wade used a great number of marks and variations on those marks. Your vase has an unfinished look for Wade do I'm thinking maybe your design was a prototype that never made it into production. It's hard to tell, though, without a hands-on exam. There is more info regarding Kilkenney Design Workshop in the book so if you'd like more info just let me know.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
