Need help identifying piece

I have a basin with the marking K.T. & K. #312 with an eagle with palm leaves in a circle with a crown on top. Also I have a water pitcher with the letters QMC stamped on the bottom. I am having trouble identifying these pieces and therefore their age and value. Any help

from Knowles Taylor & Knowles but the insignia does not match any of the ones I found in my reference materials belonging to KT &T. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
