Hi thanks I lost the whole of this evening being stuck in bed with a common cold, which is not good news when you suffer from Parkinson's disease.
Yes it was a Wedgwood piece but John knew that in the first 2 minutes. I am pretty certain it was designed by Ronald Stennett Willson being one of his studio pieces called green on green.
The vase dates to between 1969 and 1971. The base is marked Wedgwood England with the Portland vase.
Thanks Roy
