Lucky you!!!!!
How come you have two of them?
Are they family pieces?
This is detailed:

Alfred Powell was born in Reading, Berkshire, on 14 April 1865, the son of Thomas Edward Powell by Emma Corrie. He was the architectural pupil of John Dando Sedding, working in the 'crafted Gothic' tradition inspired by John Ruskin. His wife, Ada Louise Powell, née Lessore (1882-1956), was the daughter of an artist, and studied embroidery, calligraphy and illuminating. Together Alfred and Louise Powell became celebrated as pottery designers for Wedgwood. They hand-painted many thousands of pieces themselves and trained ceramic decorators for Wedgwood. They collaborated on the revitalisation of the arts and crafts, rejecting industrialisation and designing furniture decoration, embroidery and ceramics, and encouraging a communitarian spirit in the South Cotswold's.

Nice to see originals. I had some repro Wedgwood Etruria from the 70s, I think, the marks were def contemporary, difference is very obvious. Great pieces!
