Hi Funkel,
The maker was James Yates of Birmingham:

James Yates - Birmingham - 1861
The other marks are official Government verification marks in respect of the capacity of the vessel. They were often checked by visiting inspectors about once a year and marked if they passed testing.

Hello Funkel, the V and R on those official marks, mentioned by Dognose, indicate "in the reign of Queen Victoria". The "R" is for Regina, derived from Latin, and an equivalent to the Spanish "Reina".
