The mark appears to be that of Charles Engelhard, his mark registered in London 1882 matches down to the same exaggerated serifs on the E. It is a bit of a stretch to think that he or his workshop might have made this 53 years later, but not completely impossible.

Hi there. Could you please display or send me a pic of the full mark as there seems to be one stamp missing from the close up. This could make a big difference to the dating of the piece.
Best wishes, Mike.

Wasn't there a voluntary jubilee mark for George V and Queen Mary in 1935?

Yup, and that "smudge" seems to be in keeping with the general shape of it.
