I have had only 1 other piece of Art Pottery by Hampshire Pottery with this misspelled signature mark in my 38+ years as a collector and dealer. Hampshire Pottery started producing Matte Glazes in 1891. This was 7 years earlier than their main Competitor Grueby Faience of Boston, Mass. Hampshire Pottery resembles the style of Grueby but were much more affordable as they were mold made pieces as opposed to hand thrown. This piece can be dated based on the "M" in a Circle mark. This was the mark that Cadmon Robertson used during his tenure with Hampshire Pottery. This vase was made, circa 1904-1914. Matte Blue Arts and Crafts Designed Vases are becomming very hard to find. It seems that the collectors really hang on to these beauties The uniqueness of this Glaze and Design would make this a Great Addition to one's Hampshire Pottery Collection.
