It looks like the same shape as the Mason's ones for sure Steven.

Gosh, that could be a tough one to answer, with no indication of marks on the base. It's a super shape though! Is it a sort of shiny matt finish rather than a high glaze?

What's my Pottery? / Pink Pottery Vase or Planter

Pink pottery vase or planter. Measures 5 inches high by 7.5 inches wide, by 3.5 inches deep.
Can any one tell me the age or maker?

It’s been a long time, but I think I may have made some more progress towards identifying this piece. It’s been sat at the back of my desk, but today I was feeling curious and picked it up to look at it again. I realised that it doesn’t really feel like porcelain. I shone a flashlight inside and found that the vase isn’t noticeably translucent. I had it down as porcelain due to the hardness and the conchoidal look of the chipping to the base corner. Therefore I started thinking it could be ironstone or similar: something hard and somewhat vitrified but not true porcelain.

Searching for ironstone vase brought up a few Mason’s ironstone vases in this shape, all with some form of Chinese inspired decor and a couple with matching lids. While this vase isn’t marked, and I haven’t found the exact decor on a marked piece, it does look a promising avenue.

Rather more fancy Mason’s vase but showing a similar matte black glaze: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/7426162_0091-ashworthmason-s-ironstone-dragon-vase

Hi, hoping someone can help me here.

I have a set of pink (crimson?), gold and white china I inherited from my grandparents. My father can remember it belonging to my great grandparents, who married in 1903, which seems to suggest turn of the century wedding gift.

It includes 12 coffee cups and saucers, a slops bowl, two serving plates and 12 plates.

The mark on the bottom, imprinted, is CF which I have linked to Charles Ford. There is no swan mark.

Could anyone help me pinpoint an age? It seems the swan mark was used from 1900 but info about his work before this seems a little thin on the ground. I was wondering at what point he stopped imprinting his initials and started printing them on with the swan?

Thanks!

Facebook suggestion "1920/30s to me, maybe copying or referring to a 17th c bronze" I would agree dating but possibly  later.

Odd that they would make more than one size of mould!
