The 'U' shape above the oval is a lyre, and below it are the letters 'BC' intertwined. This is standard, and part of the Buffet logo.

The 'B' could signify it's a Bb clarinet, and the 'H' could mean high pitch.

Though 'H' is B natural in German notation as in BACH (Bb,A,C,B - as used by Bach no less) and D.SCH (D,Eb(Es in German),C,B - Shostakovitch used his German-spelt initials in his 6th symphony) so it could be a B natural clarinet - a set of old Buffet soprano clarinets from A to Eb went on sale on ebay a while back - that was a set of A, Bb, B, C, Db, D and Eb clarinets all in the one case!
