Thank you for showing this, Chris. Its by Thomas Gammon, Birmingham, RD 62918, registered 12 Oct 1849 - Parcel 6.

I don't think we've seen the sugar bowl in this pattern before, but we have seen the pickle jar and two different shapes of rummer, all based on the original design registration for a decorative pattern for the ornamentation of a tumbler.
