Hi. I've enjoyed the IKEA discussion, but what you have is similar to the
sets of white enamelware plates and cups we found spilled out of a
steamboat wreck as part of several acres of wreckage at 3CT243, West
Memphis, AR, on the bottom of the Mississippi River in 1988. Our vessels
(dishes that is) had a blue line around the rim, and "Sweden" in blue on
the base. No "KEA", though. My best estimate for the wreckage is
1915-1925 based on marks on ceramics that also spilled out. Check the
repro Kresge Katalog of 1913 (published by Random House, NY, 1975 ISBN
0-394-73151-4pbk), page 107. "Genuine Swedish White Enamelware at 10
cents". Many vessel forms are illustrated, though no indication of "KEA"
marks.
