I also have Octagonal Copeland Spode jug, different pattern from yours but called WILD FLOWER, but same size and shape. Have been trying to find out more info. Do you know of a site?
These were introduced in 1870 and continued to 1957 for earthenware and 1963 for bone china. A letter indicated the month of manufacture and two numbers underneath indicated the year. The month letters are:
January J July L
February F August T
March M September S
April A October O
May Y November N
June U December D
have the same pattern of flowers on plate with date D 92 = December 1892
