Keeling and Co. made Losol Ware from 1912 until 1936. Cameo (Or more likely Cameo-Gold) is the name of the pattern and Burslem is the town in Staffordshire where it was made. Keeling and Co. closed business in 1936. You can see a couple of sample photos at Replacements, Inc. but I see they are not offering any for sale today.

Old flow blue (the name for pottery and porcelain with a blue glaze deliberating flowing into the clay to create varied shades) is prized by collectors.
