Here's a website on the factory.

And here is a gallery of Mutton Crackle ware.

Factory seems to have produced a funny range of stuff, some of it's quite ordinary and some rather nice.

BTW it's quite large and weighs a ton. 8 inches (20 cm) across and 5.5 inches deep (14 cm)

Just picked this vase up its orange and yellow with a white/pinkish tinge fat lave dripglaze top

Indistinct mark to the base, looks to be hand potted maybe.

18cm tall, quite heavy .

Pretty sure it's Crown Ducal, Staffordshire.

Certainly looks to be a British stamp, rather than Continental.

Thanks for the responses. I agree that its probably British.
But cant fins a Crown Ducal mark that would fit ?

Whats the chance of it being a Wilkinson mark?

I have seen many Ducal vases in this colourway though
I can't see a Ducal, or Wilkinson, mark that matches either.

Above the crown is the first word ROYAL, or the second word WARE?

This is bugging me.

OK, so after houres of peering at images and looking at this standing on my head etc ,...
i think ive got it ... maybe?
