I have this vase but can not find information on the maker. I would be grateful for any information. It shows fine bone China and is extremely delicate. It is approximately 12.5cm tall. Thank you in advance.
Drayford is a village in Devon, England. An internet search found this:

"Keiko Hasegawa throwing pots in her Devon studio in 2005. Keiko was born in Yamagata, Japan in 1941 into a family that for 14 generations had engaged in the production of cast iron and bronze. She originally studied cast design before becoming interested in ceramics and training for a while in Mashiko in 1972. However, it wasn't until a trip to England in 1977..............." see link info w/pics
Your vase doesn't make mention of Keiko Hasegawa. Hope someone will drop by with more information.
Welcome to CW!
i think keiko and michael probably never worked for drayford because she did raku and left the country for a long time
and in 2006-or 2007-2008 she quite the business and made commercial ceramics for poche restaurants
dont, forget it is probably outsourced Asahi etc
