Rare mark, with ‘LE’ standing for Lane End – where the same pattern was used by Mayer & Newbold, with ‘M&N’ in the mark 1817-33.
The ‘L&H’ would therefore be a pottery with those initials, and Lockett & Hulme of Lane end fits, active 1822-26.
This is therefore a rare piece from a short-lived factory – that seems to have borrowed their pattern directly from the company almost next-door!
Another slight variation was also made by Baggerly & Ball…. (TCC #13541)
