I don't know what to think about these, they look like work I've seen of Walter Keeler but the mark is possibly Michael Casson?   Help please.
I think they are a good find, I'm crossing fingers...even though they are a bit impractical for drinking out of.
Please not hobby potter....not with that bottom!

Just looked him up on his website, found his mark in the book (and I went through the entire S section before!) and seen the thread...spot on.
Thank you Naomi and Dantheman
