I have this vase that is similar to Salisbury ware but has the Harwyn Pottery sticker on the base. Can anyone tell me about it? I'm having trouble posting a photo, so have made it my avatar, for now.

This is interesting. I always thought Harwyn painted flowers on glazed CL vases but it appears from this example that they also decorated unglazed blanks.

Console, could you please sent a photo of that Harwyn vase to the site on newzealandpottery@gmail.com and I will post it for you, as it is a bit hard to see in the tiny avatar format. Thanks Ev.

Thank you for sending your photo Console as it is extremely interesting having been painted on top of an Ambrico decorated Shape 3 Vase and has a Harwyn sticker on the base.  This will be from the 1940's and I'm pleased that Val picked up on it, as I didn't see your edited post.

This is a very unique piece people ... Photo courtesy of Console.

As it has a Harwyn sticker, they may have purchased vases from Salisbury initially and given them a floral flourish and sold them as their own. Maybe going onto Crown Lynn/Ambrico later to get a stronger longer lasting vase that was already glazed?
Hehee that's my thoughts for the day Very Happy
