i have a stopper for a piece of cranberry glass just like the one you have for which i have tentatively dated it mid 19th C. i would put your pitcher a bit later. i do not have any ideas on its maker. it could have been painted by amateurs as was quite common in victorian england.

I would go with late 19th/eraly 20th century Bohemia. The mark will be the decorator's mark - they were frequently home workers (often children) on piece work so things are sometimes marked with a number or an initial
