hi and welcome, sorry it's taken somebody so long to say anything to you at all! :)
I think you can rule out Next or the Range, but you perhaps are right in thinking of home interior places - it might be Svaja, a good quality maker, sometimes found in art galleries as well as high end furnishing stores.
It has that sort of a feel about it, to me, but I'm no expert on this!
Just thought it was about time somebody said something.  ;D

A more general comment would be that I think it is very recent, but very well made. I suspect its origins are more Poland than China.
What does the bottom look like?
We like looking at bottoms here.  ;D

It looks like it's got a walnut-ish décor... not the nut of course  :P ... but the wood.

It has a lot going on in it, doesn't it?
Cased more than once, including yellow, a difficult enamel to work with because of awkward differential annealing properties to others, and a textured, worked surface, also cased; and a nicely polished rim.

Here's an almost identical one, I've asked to use the images.

..............  assume there isn't a named maker for yours either Anne?              Nope - don't agree it looks like ordinary Walnut wood ;) ;) :-*  BUT it does look like Burr Walnut (wood) - that's ignoring the black, of course ;D
