Gray's Pottery Art Deco Band Demitasse Coffee Items Possible Susie Cooper Design

  

Ninety+ year-old Gray's Pottery art deco espresso/demitasse items that are a bit of a mystery. Price includes 12 pieces: a creamer, a sugar bowl (this is a lid-less sugar bowl), 4 demitasse cups and six small plates/saucers. You'll see that this set is very close to Susie Cooper's banded design #7670, but the colors differ slightly. It's not clear if this is a variation or a different design. The hallmark doesn't include Susie Cooper's name.

Date isn't fully clear but looks to be late 1920's or thereabouts, so it's not clear if Ms. Cooper was still at Gray's or if the items originate just after her departure. The pieces are hand-painted and quite old. Note that 1 of the cups has a crack on the side (see last photo). Cups are about 2.1 inches across the top and about 2 inches high.

Saucer/small plates are about 4.4 inches across. This item is in the category "Pottery & Glass\Decorative Cookware, Dinnerware & Serveware\Cup & Saucers".
