England was added to the mark Wedgwood in 1891 to comply with the American Customs Regulation known as the McKinley Tariff Act...so we know it was after this date, but until we see the bowl the correct way up, we are powerless, to identify it...unless we happen upon it by chance,

I would e-mail the museum. They have an online gallery but loads of items / patterns missing from this era.

I read that the 3 stars (***) on the printed mark were used in the 1900-1920 era. Otherwise, I know nothing. :-\

Yeah, and that's the period that's lacking on the museum web pages i looked at.

The fairyland lustre stuff sells really well. The bowls have a beautiful sound when you tap them to check for restoration / cracks.

Are you sure there's no number on the base ? Even impressed ?

I think you've got something a bit special here - never seen that pattern in the well before.

There appears to be an impressed mark to the left of the main Portland Vase backstamp ?
