From what I've found out through searching for information about British Pottery companies, it was an independently owned company based in Stoke on Trent where the owner, a Mr. Baskeyfield, purchased unglazed white pottery in bulk from other pottery companies, including from the Josiah Wedgewood company, and then had them transfer printed or painted with designs, often contemporary / advertising in nature. It was thought to have ceased trading in or around 1976. There is no reliable date for when it was established but possibly from the 50's going by the style of decoration of its wares.
