Caveat: We believe this tableware pottery was made by Shorter & Son (UK) based on the physically almost identical set that we also have on offer HERE
Note that this fish sauce boat has far less decoration/colouring (almost as though it is unfinished), the shape however is almost identical to our "fish set" with the differences being the decoration and makers markings under the boat.
Shorter & Son (Stoke On Trent) were in operation 1906 ~ 1964 and produced a wide range of decorative tableware and pottery, including Toby Jugs.
Initially we thought this might be Pate's pottery but it does not bear the marks typical of Pates (usually a stamping on the base clearly indicating PATE)
