I have 2 of these but a little larger: 6 1/2 " without lid. The foot is called a lemon squeezer foot which was popular for about 20 years say 1800 to 1820 and used by many companies. The most likely candidates for having made these are Irish or Norwegian, but Belgian or French cannot be ruled out entirely. Pity yours has no lid...
