In Great glass webpage there are some registrations for Boulton Mills, if you discount the handle and lip it would look like a little opaline boulton mills vase usually seen with applied decorative leaves etc.
Is it opaline or vitro porcelain? Have you tried a uv light? Regards Mike

Hi Paul.  Yes, as mentioned in my first post there are impressed markings but, again, they are difficult to decipher.  I've attached another pic of these markings which may be of help.

Many thanks

Hi Mike, thanks for your suggestion.  I see the Great Glass Boulton & Mills registrations but how do you get to any pictures?  I have just put the jug under UV light with no reaction to report.  I will google images for Boulton & Mills to see what's there.

Many thanks for your continued interest.

hmm  -  I see what you mean  -  in that case probably of no use to us, but appreciate the effort.   thanks.

sorry, drawn a blank on all the suggestions - so am at the end of the road as to further ideas on this one.   I've looked at Boulton & Mills but no joy there either.

Back to the lozenge, having tweaked your photo would agree with the V. The B could well be a D if not perhaps O. 6 looks probable but again if not maybe 8.

I used to be indecisive - now I'm not so sure           More than happy to look again at the Kew archives if someone feels reasonably positive about a sequence of numbers.    I've looked at everything from 1876 to the end of the lozenges  -  could have missed seeing it I suppose.
