Anyone with ideas as to maker?
Answer:
Hi Dar,
That's a beautiful vase.

Can we get a close-up image of the marks? It would certainly help in trying to identify. Hopefully, someone can identify your beautiful vase.

Answer:
Hi dejavu, welcome to here.
The initials are FWG but I have not been able to find out what company that stands for. I also don't think it is an experimental piece because I found some others by the same company. I'm pretty sure the 1st word is Pomegranite. Below are some links to the pieces I found, maybe they'll be of some help.
Pomegranite
FWG with elephant mark.
Biscuit jar.
Daisy platter.
Hattie
Answer:
Hattie, you are wonderful!! Nice to see the mark
more clear and now I can investigate further to
discover the company.
