    The parcel code isn't going to tell you anything important, so don't bother. But the other info you gleaned appears to be correct.

    Remember that is when the design was registered, not the date the specific item was made.

    Thank you. As I read a little more at the National Archives site, I realized that mark covered the design, not the date. At first, I was trying to imagine them changing out pieces in the mold every day to change the date. ha

    Thanks for finding that. I would have never guessed a sugar bowl (if correct).

    I'll keep looking at that pattern. Now that I read the blurb, it mentions 2 comports, and shows a similar non-frosted piece it calls a "basin" (a term I am not familiar with).

    “If correct” is an unknown, someone more familiar will be along I’m sure.

    Might be a jelly compote instead of a sugar.

    @Ownedbybear
    Do the English have pedestal sugar bowls?

    Yup. Think fancy set Victorian dinner table. The sugar might have been for strawberries or whatever.
