(Bonus points for the 'hairy' reference in the title).

Continuing my trawl through the loft I have uncovered three pieces by the same maker, the other two being a bowl which is probably the sugar bowl that went with this pot, and a vase in the same colourway but different pattern. This one has the clearest mark, which is why I'm posting it first.
I love the shape of this teapot, especially the stubby spout, although I'm not too sure about the crystalline green on the lid.
Any ideas on who made it?

Ah, I hadn't considered a middle initial. Maybe that also adds MPP and MFP to the possibilities?
