Could this maker's mark possibly be "G.C.P. Co" rather than "G.D.P. Co"?
If so, then it seems probable that it's from the Clyde Pottery company,
Greenock (pronounced 'gre-nuk'), near Glasgow, Scotland.
Note that Glasgow is also the most likely candidate for the partially illegible
third line. According to Godden, marked pieces from the Clyde pottery
"probably date from c.1850-1903". Godden also cites J. Arnold Fleming's
_Scottish Pottery_ as a source for further information.
