Question
I purchased a pair of bud vases on the bag label it came in says circa 1910 James Dixon. On the bottom it has a reg no 893536 Made in England. I would like to know the value and its exact origin

Sounds about right. You can research the design registration number yourself via the British Library (see http://www.bl.uk/collections/patents/designs.html#desnum). That will tell who registered the design, where they worked, and when.
Value very small.
