Hi Michael,
This is quite a tough one. Is this similar to the kind of flagon you have? http://www.belowstairs.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Bottles___Stoneware_Flagons_57.html
I’ve found a reference to Perry the brewer in Pengwern Street near Princes Park in Toxteth, from Gore’s Directory for 1900. This may be the company that made the bottle you have.
[It’s on page 1128 of the 1900 Directory; search http://www.historicaldirectories.org.uk
Dock workers took flagons of beer with them to work – to keep them going! – as well as other manual workers. The docks, and the area of land just behind the docks were heavily industrialised parts of Liverpool right up until the Second World War. Many of these places still are.
What you have is one of the interesting little details that show what objects people were using every day. These flagons may have remained unchanged over decades – it’s an interesting part of Liverpool’s manual dock labour.
If anyone else reading this has any ideas, do add them below!

You might like to see this flagon and who it was manufactured by …it may help. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STONEWARE-FLAGON-BEER-JUG-PARSON-CO-CHESTERFIELD-FOR-CPERRY-LTD-TOXTETH-PARK1937-/290936780163?nma=true&si=Pr5hcyKwxJs7Goax4r06n1Xr5p4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
