<p>[QUOTE="say_it_slowly, post: 2389005, member: 50"]I've been giving it some thought but I don't know. The bluing to the glaze would suggest pearlware however it doesn't particularly look like pearlware. I also was thinking it looked rather like porcelain. Possibly the mark could also be the number 2 or a workman's mark. Here are some of the rabbit holes I've gone down and mention for discussion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plymouth Porcelain used a similar looking mark however I don't recall every handling any and from what I see browsing, their porcelain didn't seem like this. The mark is from Godden's.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]262700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The book, <i>Painted in Blue Underglaze Blue Painted Earthenwares 1775-1810</i> by Lois Roberts/The Northern Ceramic Society, has a very similar looking tea caddy/canister/jar pictured. I'll have to spend more time looking to see if she offers any further information about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]262696[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]262701[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>She also shows marks for Heath factory in a different section of the book along with the workman's mark which looks somewhat similar to the V/2.
