Default Question about a Poole Pottery 'PKT' Peanut vase..

Hey there people!

I've been given a Poole Pottery PKT Peanut vase which I am now trying
to date.

I assume it was designed by Alfred Read, but I'm not sure who painted
it. Next to the Dolphin stamp on the bottom are some painted letters.
These look like "E/D PKT", though the E could be an F or a G.

Can anyone tell me what this might mean, and hopefully whether the
vase dates from the 1930s, 1950s or another period?

I've knocked up a quick webpage with a photo of the item he
http://uk.geocities.com/acorn_antiquities/

The vase is about 10 or 11 inches high, if that helps to identify it?

Thank you in advance,

Ivor Vassel.

Ronnie is correct, the mark was used from 1956. They really did produce some
very stylish wares.
