Hi there Wayne, That is a lovely vase, but I've never seen anything like it made by Len Castle. He was very particular about his marks too and I've never seen him do large hand scratched initials like this. He mostly used a variety of stamps.
Due to both of those points, I would consider this to not be a Castle pot.
