Help Identifying the Artist of this Bretby Owl Vase


Hi,
I have recently purchased a large 10 x 7 inch Bretby vase that has the unusual decoration of two owls. One is in a moonlit scene between two tress and the other is in flight. Also which I find quite unusual is that the decoration is in thick enamels.
Would you be able to find out for me the artist and the red glaze to the vase.
Many Thanks.

Lovely. Helps to have a photo of the base. There may be a pattern number

So the decoration is Over the glaze?
Has it scratched? Will it scratch? or has it been fired on?

Yes, I was wondering if it was a later overpainting by a previous owner

Good afternoon,
In reply to the owl decoration which i am no expert, the decoration is over the glaze,
it appears fired on and does not scratch off.
I feel that there is a lighter red colour around the moon to depict the moonlight plus the painted gilt moon has an area of loss and is totally white underneath which would have been original.
Thank you.
