Please help identify the maker of this European or American pot

I've never seen this mark before and cannot find anything online. It is almost certainly European or American.

There are other marks (difficult to read, perhaps initials) but this "little man" is the most distinctive.

Thank you in advance.

i was about to buy a pot with the same mark. the seller listed it as a walsall pot. i ask mark at walsall and he said it wasn't his but i would like to know who the maker
