Title: Mass Produced Makers Mark - ID = Amit Enterprises, India
Post by: Della on February 10, 2018, 06:56:52 PM
So, I have 2 of these tankards, 1 with an Elephant on one side (shown below) and 1 with a giraffe. Both have an umbrella thorn acacia tree engraved(?) on the other side.
I just wondered if anyone recognised the impressed mark to the base?
I have looked through Ivo's book and trawled through various sites, but to no avail  :'( :'(
TIA,
Della

I knew I'd seen this mark before and couldn't recall where, until I washed the dishes tonight and saw the same mark on the base of my kitchen measuring jugs (https://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/baking/glass-measuring-jug-05-litre/050134657,default,pd.html), bought around a year or so ago in ASDA. I can't recall if they said where they were made or not, but if they still have them in stock locally the label might give a clue as to country of origin at least!  It's not one of those Pyrex ones with the bent handle, it has a proper shaped handle like your tankard, and the exact same mark on the base of each, along with a moulded 2 on the base of the litre size and 86 on the base of the ½ litre/pint size.
