KC,, if you read farther they tried a pencil rubbing and tried to draw what could be seen well but still couldn`t tell the name !!
Yes Ipcress,, that name came up in several searches !! There was another but I forget what his name was !! The pitcher/ewer is really not made that well but the handle is and the same handle was used on other items,,mostly pitchers !! Was curious who made this one,, none have a mfr/foundry name !! All have the same thing on bottom !! Surely there is a company of some kind out there !! Don`t think these were made in someones garage workshop !! Or were they ??
