Charles Gibson's mark?

[Granmaa]

This is a superb quality 1834 mug which has been crudely converted into a cream jug. Charles Gibson seem like the closest match, but I've never seen his work before. Does someone know about him or maybe suggest another maker?

Hi Miles,
Going by the size of the mark and the pellet I would have thought that Charles Goodwin (Grimwade 311) or Charles Gordon (Grimwade 313) were more likely candidates, they were both entered as smallworkers but I have always thought that smiths will produce anything that they have the skills to make, but having never knowingly seen their work I think the size of the mark, as all three only entered one mark each, will provide a good clue.
Your photograph provides an excellent example of how the quality of the Leopards Heads had deteriotated at this time, compared with the quality of the Duty Mark it looked very inferior.
Regards Trev.

Thankyou Trev,
2209patrick showed me an auction site which had the same mark attributed to Gibson; that doesn't mean their right, of course.
If I ever enter a mark, I'll make it so bizarre that it will never be confused with another!
