I also flipped the mark around (CI) but that doesn't help.. neither is it IO or IQ etc.. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Unrecorded maker "IC" 1790?

These marks are on a mustard pot. The maker's mark is worn but looks to be "IC" but I can't find anyone working in this time period.

Re: Unrecorded maker "IC" 1790?
You seem to have managed to get a (flash?) reflection right over the mark. It would be better without the reflection and lit by daylight at an angle to bring out any features better.
However, assuming that it is IC (and it does look somewhat like that) then I have a candidate mark which I have seen with hallmark dates 1792 to 1801:
One of my seen-on items for this IC is a mustard. Unfortunately the mark doesn't appear in any of the standard references so is "unknown".

Thanks for the information. The 'C' is almost completely washed out/worn so I can't really get a better image. Seems to be likely the unknown/unrecorded "IC" you refer to, notably if it was observed on other mustard pots of a similar age. Yet another unresolved mystery!
