Hello,
I’m a non expert seeking some help identifying these hallmarks to help me determine the closest year of make of this salt glazed British hunting pitcher. Normally I’m OK at hallmarks but these are a bit worn on the threshold of my experience.
My guess from researching online is it is 19th C.
So I think the Makers mark is I & T.S. ???
Then lion en passant, then a royal/queen? head profile then a lowercase letter ‘a’
Thank you for your help.
James.
Is it Royal Doulton ?, I love it 
Kishere Mortlake (London) brown stoneware pitcher with a domed top silver cover.
Sheffield 1824 (crowned “a”).
John & Thomas Settle (1814…1825, registered Jan 1815).
RD? There U r! 
Thank you Bartholomew, I do like a piece of Doulton Lambeth 
Oh yes, Alan, it’s not just silver that pleases the eye. I also love old porcelain, which I collect and describe (if anyone is interested, I can help).
Me too, pottery porcelain and glass. Love finding bits when I’m metal detecting
World War II archaeology is fascinating and exciting!
Thanks Bartholomew very much indeed. Really helpful for me.
Best,
James.
And thank you again.
