Pottery Mark Query - Incised B, incised symbol, blue W (?) mark - backstamp pic

Pottery Mark Query - Incised B, incised symbol, blue W (?):- I bought this lovely teapot a couple of years ago at a local thrift store. The incised B could be from several different manufacturers, but I cannot find the incised symbol anywhere in my many searches. The blue mark under glaze looks like the letter W or U.

I thought this might be a Worcester teapot but the incised symbol has me completely stumped. I would appreciate any information you might have regarding this teapot.

The teapot is in a beautiful blue color, the circles appear to be a very dark green with a circle of dark blue in them. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Sincerely,

Carol

p.s.-- The right side of the symbol looks the same as the left in reality.

UPDATE:-
This MARK HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE ON THIS SITE AS the Boleslawiec factory now based in Poland, previously known as a region called Silesia. There is a fuller history on another Boleslawiec query page Incised B Castle Pottery Mark

Hi Carol

Thanks for your interesting query, I really appreciate the time and trouble you took to join in and upload your great photos.

First thing to say is what a great looking teapot. It looks very interesting and I too would like to know who to attribute this rather odd and ugly mark to. Nice teapot, horrible mark.

It is definitely an obscure mark - I have looked it up in my collection of various reference books and none of them show anything like this mark.

I looked under W, under V, under, B, under Castles and buildings, under miscellaneous etc etc etc. Not a sausage.

Let's hope we have someone in the know look at this page and tell us.

I hope this helps you with your very nice item.

Best regards
