This is a tall vase made in England by Radford, hand painted,
About
In the 1920s Edward Thomas Radford, who came from a family of established potters, was working for H J Wood Ltd in Burslem, Staffordshire. Harry Wood marketed Radford‘s work with the backstamp ‘E Radford, England, Hand painted‘, and later set up an independent pottery in premises nearby known as Radford Handcraft Pottery.
The company carried on until 1948 when Radford retired, but H J Wood continued making pots to his designs, and marked them with the ‘E Radford‘ backstamp. This particular back stamp is later, I believe between the 40s and the 80s.
Condition:
26cm high 16cm wide body 10cm wide on open
The vase also has the Woods name impressed to the base. It does have some marks to the outside as shown but no chips or cracks.
