    Hello,
    I bought this a few years back for just a few dollars. I would appreciate if someone could identify the maker and the age.
    At the bottom of the jar I can see a printed "W" in blue and then there are a couple of impressions. One is clearly "AMK" and the other one seems to start with "WEDG" (not very sure) but can't make the letters that follows.
    Thank you.

    Might have something to do with Wedgwood Ivanhoe series looking at the similar image along the top of Coeur de Lion.

    "In 1860 the Wedgwood factory started marking its wares with the date of manufacture impressed in each piece as part of a three letter code. The first letter of the code represents the month of manufacture, the second identified the potter who threw the shape and the last letter signifying the year the piece was made"

    So, AMK = April (potter mark) 1882

    Yes, the date mark is in line with the style. I never read Ivanhoe, so I was thinking King Arthur or Robin Hood, LOL. Sugar bowl, I think.
