My initial reaction was that it appears poorly made and the touchmarks look like a pseudo or spurious Wigan mark. Might just be a Benelux ewer and the rampant lion is often seen on metalware from those countries.

You'd best contact the Pewter Society

 enquiries@pewtersociety.org

tell them it's a family item and not for sale, that you're just curious about the mark.
