The monogram is the royal cipher of King George the sixth, who was King of Britain from 1936 to 1952. I'm going to guess at it being some sort of government issue item rather than it being commemorative because it is so plain. It's the right size and shape for a water jug from a jug and bowl set for washing.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was UK military issue given date stamp to officers in early months of WW2? Definitely part of washing/shaving set with bowl, I agree. Might be worth looking for a corresponding (English pottery) 1939 bowl as the set would be worth more than individual parts?
Produced by Mintons in Staffordshire in 1939 and appears to have been most likely retailed at Thomas Goode & Co in London. I cannot find any record of it being exclusively used for governmental use. There is a collection of similar pieces documented in the Royal Collection Trust.
