I think you will find the mark has "Old Willow" over the little house. Under it is "S - L td", and under that is the letter "H"
H Stands for Hanley, the town in Staffordshire where Swinnertons Ltd. was located c. 1906-59. The mark is on page 271 in my book THE ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLOPEDIA OF BRITISH WILLOW WARE along with 3 other marks used by the factory. A brief history of the factory is also there. On the following page are 5 colored photos of pieces made by Swinnertons -- nice quality dinner ware!
