The v is probably an x - crowned x marks are very commonly used on British pewter, and are found inside the bases of much 19th century holloware such yours. It does little to help identify the maker.
Send me a photo to stynt@btopenworld.com if you can, and I will try to provide more details. But please don't bother if you are intending to put this on eBay - I don't do free valuations for dealers.
