Digging at a 1940's bottle dump and dug up a couple of stoneware jars. The first is aquamarine color and is 3" tall. Has a mold seam on the bottom, but no markings. The second jar is grayish and measures 3 3/4" tall. Has a few markings on the bottom, but hard to read. One mark looks like a captial "M" with a couple of lines coming out the sides of the letter. Any help to ID them and date them would be appreciated.

Eastern PA is close to you and a former hotbed for great ceramics. Maybe from there. The green glaze looks right.🍀

A member on the friendly metal detecting forums identified the makers mark on the gray jar. It was made by Buchan. I researched that and eventually found the same jar on eBay. It has a partial label for Robertson's Scotch marmalade on it. Probably from the 1930's. Still need help on that green jar, though!
