Lynn, I think they are a Malaysian company making modern repros of some older patterns, e.g. http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=629106

Somewhere I have a lidded bowl by them which originally had sweets in it. They were sold by a Yorkshire confectionery company within the last few years, and I see a fair few of them in charity shops. Mine is this type of pattern but with a lid:
