Bill â€” It's the peacock's head trade mark of Sowerby & Co., Ellison Glass Works, Gateshead-on-Tyne, and the basket is pattern No. 1157Â½, launched in 1876, and reasonably well known.

1157 is the open version of the same basket.

... forgot the glass ...

It's what Sowerby called Turquoise Vitro-porcelain, launched in 1877, according to Simon Cottle's excellent book on Sowerby.

I have this basket, given to me by a friend - mine is a lavender almost pink color - what would this color be called?
