I intended to add a couple of questions on this post, in regards to these canisters, but I will leave the questions for another post, so this post is just a short prelim on two of these canisters I have. From Thomson`s book, the same shape canisters were made during both the Calyx and the Wembley Ware period. These two I display are both Calyx, but with different Calyx marks. We do have a set of these Calyx ones displayed on this site under "Calyx." The one on the right of my photo, was my mothers, and I remember it during the 1950s, and I am not sure but it may have been my grandmother`s much prior to the 1950s. Of course it has no lid, and I suspect when the lid was broken it was moved from the kitchen to become a plant pot in the garden. It was nearly covered up with soil when I saw it and recovered it a few years back. So of course badly cracked and badly stained, but it has sentimental value of course. So I will put these two on, with the different Calyx marks.
