Can't identify a pair of Doulton Vases

[david_s_ferris]

Hi

Firstly, my apologies that my first post is a help request!

I have had a pair of vases for a while but know little about them. I wonder if someone can help my identify them correctly, all I really know is that they are likely to be from around 1890. I would like to keep them but money pressures mean that they are likely to end up on eBay I didn't pay too much when I bought them so hopefully I won't lose cash in any case.

The jugs are 9 inches high, some pictures are below.

Hi

My own investigations has turned up that these are a pair of Mark Marshall vases, probably from around 1897. I cannot identify the assistants marks, but I am working on it.

Any further info will be gratefully recieved

Hi

No further info?

I have had them looked at by an auction house, who have confirmed them as a pair of early Mark V Marshall vases, they are likely to be sold at auction with a reserve of £500, I MAY list them on eBay first for a quicker sale as the auction isn't until mid September, I will also consider offers - david_s_ferris@yahoo.co.uk -

I can provide further photos, and will happily allow viewings, as long as the viewings are serious!

Cheers

David
