Hi Ray,
The silver collar looks like a Birmingham 1938 assay. Can't help with the maker/sponsor. The vase looks like Royal Worcester ivory blush but I'm no expert on ceramics. Many of the major ceramics manufacturers had identification schemes/codes which can date the vase. The bottom of the vase will have the stamped marks and from them more detail about the vase can be gleaned.
Hope this helps.
Tony
