The bases of design. 1903 - 1957
From 1903/4 all Pilkington vases were marked on the base. Over 70 marks are known which denote year of potting,
the artist, year of decoration and sometimes who potted the vase. A variety of paper labels were also affixed by the factory.

Pilkington's Lancastrian Pottery Society can identify artists and date vases using the key to these marks.
