What is the trade mark? 

I'd have thought maybe Caithness because of the colour.

Oh sorry.  I've no idea what a Sowerby swan looks like.

The bowl's a nice shape because of the foot but the colour is a bit 70s :)

That’s what I thought was fairly interesting about it, they packed up in the 70’s and the swan was replaced with a label a bit earlier
