Slipware, shape and glaze are similar to Diana. Is it possible that CK made them at Marrickville in that period after Diana closed but the factory was still producing? I don’t think that it is Calvin Klein or even Charles Keeling from Shelton, Stoke on Trent 1822 1825, the only CKs I could find. Any ideas?
