can you help ID these pieces?

Two things I picked up yesterday at rummage:

1. a tin pail with a rounded bottom. I know that firemen's water buckets can have rounded bottoms, but this is too small for firefighting use. It's about eight inches diameter. Galvanized tin, with a tin handle.

2. a very small beautiful jadeite cup. Octagonal, translucent, with a handle. Almost the size of a child's tea set cup; about 1 1/2 inches tall. There is a mark on the bottom, but I can't make it out. It's not Jeanette or Anchor. It looks to be high quality.

Any thoughts on either of these? TIA.
