I have sent similar to Steve Birk's of the potteries and checked with others with knowlege of O&B. This is not from them but an unknown maker that may be the missing Bromley's from W.H.Goss, Irish Belleek and the U.S. O&B & Willets. These pieces are U.S. and date ca. 1892-1902 but remain unidentifiable as yet. I believe they were made on the Hudson River in N.Y., but the State has no record of the business. Perhaps there might be a clue in the transfer pattern, and if so, I would be interested. The 2 mentioned ceramic artists vanish in 1892, do not return to U.K. as that has been researched - and simply vanish? Pieces appear from the lavish to the simple, but are ALL vases, no other shapes appear. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
