Here is a cream jug, most likely English. Does anyone know anything else about it?

That's the silver plate mark used by the Atkins Brothers from 1853 to 1958. Located in Sheffield, England, they were founded by Henry Atkins in 1841. They were bought out in 1958 by C. J. Vander.

Thankyou very much Patrick. Is there any way of telling the date of this piece, or is the design too common?

Made in the 20th century in silver plate but as a reproduction of Georgian silver one (c 1790) Best wishes, Mike.

I agree with Mike, first half 20th century.
I've seen their [HA] [EA] [FA] mark used without the logo above it on older pieces. This is only my opinion but that logo looks 20th century to me. In case you were wondering what the [HA] [EA] and [FA] marks stand for, they are the initials of henry's three sons who took over the company after his death: Henry Jr., Edward and Frank.
