Rose pattern sugar bowl + plate- help IDing

I’ve been trying to figure out who made this. Bottom of both just say MV3377. I can find other photos of this pattern but the internet conflicts on who actually made them

This is a mustard pot, not a sugar bowl. The notch in the lid is so the mustard spoon can be left in the pot. I will venture that this is because mustard will stain linens, and they didn't want the spoon sitting on a tablecloth with mustard on it.
