The mark on your base is composed of a large letter P that incorporates two small bumble bees above a small letter X. The mark tells me your pair of vases were made by the Pilkington Pottery at Swinton Junction between Manchester and Bolton. ——————————————————————————————————2/7—— Religion on the go 141 NEW GENERATION PHONE?

Pilkington tiles even graced the interior of the ill-fated EMS Titanic. The success of the pottery was largely due to William and Joseph Burton, who joined the pottery during the twilight years of the 19th century. The brothers are emblematic as the two Bs, integral with the large letter P trademark. The letter X indicates the number 10, dating your vases to 1910. ——————————————————————————————————3/7—— Ditched after summer?

But the pottery is probably better known for its range of iridescent and metallic wares, which proved their most desirable output. Their iridescent glazed wares are invariably signed with the monogram of their decorator. ——————————————————————————————————4/7—— Creamy pork noodles 146 BRAND NEW VOICE MESSAGES-ITV1 p385 GP Agony Aunt Connect TV Guide

The most prolific decorators of the period were William Salter Mycock, Richard Joyce and Gladys Rodgers. The latter's work tended to concentrate on the "lapis" wares that involved fusing coloured paint-work into the underlying glaze. ——————————————————————————————————5/7—— Agony Aunt: I'm so lonely 145 VISIT PLANET SOUND p160 GP Agony Aunt Connect TV Guide

As the pair measure about 12 inches in height, their replacement value would probably be in the region of £250. The great thing about Royal Lancastrian pottery is that it still represents good value for money! ——————————————————————————————————6/7—— Antiques with Eric every Friday VISIT PLANET SOUND p160 GP Agony Aunt Connect TV Guide
