This is a wardle vase marked England. I think the vase is mystical theme,maybe the three graces. I have never seen one like it. Anyone have an opinion?

Thank you Lee
I don't know, but after a glass of the Evan Williams back there I think my head would be clear enough to figure it out! ;)
Art and bourbon. It's a southern approach to art appreciation .
I'd go for the Three Graces too. Really nice use of the glaze. The early morning colors or is it evening are wonderful! The clever portrait of the Graces suggests a moulded addition to the pot or is it entirely moulded. Could you give some more detailed photos?
Thanks so much for showing it. While looking around I found out that they did wares for Liberty & Co. i saw a vase shape that resolved a thirty year mystery for me. There are also connections with George Jones and his majolicas. The impressed mark suggests after 1891.

Thank you so much for the information.
According to marks4antiques the mark was used between 1871-1935, and they were based in Hanley, Staffordshire. They were acquired by Cauldon and used as their Art pottery division.
It is beautiful!

Vetraio50, I didn't read your comment, but you were correct on the date. The word "England" was added in 1871
Hi mary H .... the reference to the mark I gave was from the same site here:
