Indian colonial salt and pepper pots?

Post by EmmaW »

I'd be very grateful for some help identifying the maker's mark on the salt and pepper pots below. Stylistically they would seem to be Indian colonial but I can find no mention of the maker. Does anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated as always

Emma

Hi Emma,

I'm only offering this as a possibility, but the partners in Middleton & Co. between 1822 and 1834 were Robert Brutus Middleton and Thomas Allardice.

Robert Brutus Middleton, who was earlier an assistant with Hamilton & Co., would seem a candidate for further research.

Thanks Trev, that's really interesting, I think you're on to something. It would definitely make sense if it was him.

Hi Emma,

I agree with Trev. This is most likely the earliest mark of Middleton & Co. The later M&Co marks are much more common.
