Found this about 3 foot deep in the bank of the river; looks and feels old but can't find the mark anywhere.

Looks like what’s known as a marmalade pot 

mid 1800s at a guess could be wrong though

I’ve got a lot of these, different sizes. 
There’s an old mine shaft near my allotment where a local hospital, now long gone , dumped their rubbish.

Bottle collectors are always digging it up and a lot of the stuff is in good condition.

Used to find loads when we were kids in the mud on the River Avon as well as clay pipes and codd bottles, being kids we used to just smash them up especially the codd bottles to get the marble out. Understanding the history behind them now makes me feel a little ashamed.
