A little off topic, but Sue, the mark you're describing sounds like an old-style British registration lozenge. If you could make out all the numbers and letters, this site here would help you translate. If not, at least you know the design was registered prior to 1883, and probably English. :)

The Fish jug was registered 24th November 1882, 24 is the top number for the day , L on the right for year, K on the bottom for month and parcel number 17 on the left and registered to W H Heppell and Co and made later by Davidson who acquired the molds

Daniel I still would say 90% your pot Davidson and my best bet with your sugar bowl with those little handles is Henry Greener

I did do all the research on the lozenge when I got the jug, Cathy, but succeeded in forgetting it all completely, very soon after....
(you know how it is, don't you?   :hug: )

I just enjoy it. And it's staples.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
