Read entire listing for details, and view all attachments (expand photos to view all details). Pictures that are in attachments is a visual description of vase.  My description does not promise/ swear that vase is a accurate original from company.  All I'm doing is listing facts I found on line/ by original owner about this item. I am no expert on pottery, or on this brand/ company. As a seller, I'm just advertising an item for sale, and trying to describe it to the best of my knowledge, along with information I've been given/ found on product. Some of the information you see are just interesting facts I found/ heard about the company. John Beswick Ltd, formerly J. W. Beswick, was a pottery manufacturer, founded in 1894 by James Wright Beswick and his sons John and Gilbert in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.  In 1969, the business was sold to Doulton & Co. Ltd.  The factory closed in 2002 and the brand John Beswick was sold in 2004.  The pottery was chiefly known for producing high-quality porcelain figurines such as farm animals and Beatrix Potter characters and have become highly sought in the collectables market.  Pronunciation of Beswick is as at reads, Bes-wick.  This information was from employees who worked at the original Beswick factory. History: Based at the Gold Street works in Longton, they originally produced table wares and ornaments such as Staffordshire cats and dogs.  James Wright Beswick died in 1921, but the company continued to expand under his grandson, John Ewart Beswick.  In 1934 the introduction of high fired bone china meant they could produce high-quality figurines, such as famous race horses and champion dogs.  The company was made a limited company, John Beswick Ltd, in 1936. The Snowman and James figurines manufactured by John Beswick Ltd under the Royal Doulton trademark based on characters from the book The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. In 1939 Arthur Gredington was appointed chief modeler and they began producing farm animal figurines.  Arthur Gredington's range of 190 Rearing Horsemen is one of the largest (and most popular amongst collectors) ever produced by the company.  Under decorating manager Jim Hayward, there was a shift towards lifelike animal pieces, including cats, dogs, farm animals, fish and wild animals.  Continued expansion enabled the acquisition of the adjoining factory in 1945 to accommodate offices, warehousing and new potting and firing facilities. In 1947, Lucy Beswick suggested bringing to life the illustrations in the Beatrix Potter books.  In 1948, John Beswick secured the right to reproduce a range of 10 Beatrix Potter earthenware characters, the first of which was Jemima Puddle-Duck, modelled by Arthur Gredington.  In 1952, Beswick began manufacturing a range of Disney characters, including Snow White, Mickey Mouse and Bambi.  Along with the designs of James Hayward, the high-quality pieces they produced have become highly sought. In 1969 Beswick was sold to Doulton & Co. Ltd (Royal Doulton), and although animal figures continued to be produced, by 1989, the Beswick back stamp was dropped in favor of the Royal Doulton Royal Albert DA back stamp. The popularity of the Beatrix Potter characters was a factor in re-introducing the range in 1998, specifically for the collectors market.  By the end of 2002, Royal Doulton ceased production of all Beswick products and in 2003 the Gold Street works were sold off to property developers. In 2004 the Beswick name and product design rights were sold off.  The John Beswick name is now owned by Dartington Crystal, which continue to produce animal figurines; they also produce vases and giftware under the John Beswick name.  The Snowman and the Snow dog figures are just some of the nursery figures still being produced.
