It's difficult to see the signature but possibly William Walker.

I'd agree.  It looks as though it could be from his Chinese range c.1980s-2006.

Thank you so much both of you. Now that you've pointed this out I think it reads William Walker 84 which fits with his Chinese range. Your help is very much appreciated
