It is made in England and has the Moorcroft stamp as well as a small 'w' on the base of the vase as seen in picture. It has no cracks, chips or repairs.

History
I found this online:
"The beautiful "Clematis" pattern was originally drawn by William Moorcroft in 1936. Unfortunately William died before the pattern was ever put into production. His son Walter Moorcroft first produced the Clematis pattern in 1946 & production continued until 1975."
