    This is the closest mark I could find. I finally figured out what the mark is and what it says. It's written in French. It has a 'Scroll' which is called a Garter. It has in the Garter around the Middle Mark (which I have not figured out exactly what that is) Honi soit qui mal y pense and the lower Garter says Dieu et Mon droit. Dieu et mon droit is the motto of the British Monarch. It appears on a scroll beneath the shield of the coat of arms of the United Kingdom. The motto refers to the divine right of the Monarch to govern and is said to have first been adopted as the royal motto of England by King Henry V in the 15th century. The pitcher is a grayish blue with specks with crazing around the Mark on the bottom. If anyone knows anymore about early Iron Stone China I'd love to know also. Thanks!

      This is a water pitcher. It was for washing hands and usually originally had a bowl for the pitcher to sit in. Sorry not sure of the actual name.
