Hi Lynne,
I have six now and i rotate them so there are two on display at any one time, i just have them on coffee tables as they are too big and heavy to hang or for plate stands.

Found this site http://www.cotswold-collectables.co.uk/poolepottery/archive.htm

Hi Sue,
I can see why you would think that but the mark was actually the monogram used by a decorator called Wendy Smith during the years of 1976 and 1977.
Cotswold Collectibles is a site run by a friend of mine,Steve is a mine of Poole information and will gladly answer any Queries,especially questions relating to the animal figures that The factory produced.

A lot of early Poole is prone to cracking and crazing because the red earthenware they used wasn't that great a quality. They switched to white earthenware in 1935 (although they painted the bottom pink so people wouldn't notice too much

). That improved things, but of course collectors prize the red earthenware more!

Thanks for the welcome earlier in the thread by the way!
