definitely NOT Cook&Serve
I couldn't resist this set of six coffee cans and saucers.
Same specification as Rorstrand cans and saucers and
Crown Lynn Cook & Serve cans and saucers.
The main but not only difference is the handle.
I took a bunch of pictures comparing them with
a Cook & Serve "Image" can and saucer.

The unmarked saucer, top, is slightly smaller.

The cans are the same size...
![definitely NOT Cook&Serve Notcsh10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f58/15/65/08/71/notcsh10.jpg)
...but the handles are different.
When something comes so close to matching I'm sure there's a story.
At first I thought they were Birger Kaipiainen who worked for Rorstrand
and Arabia Finland. Similar can but different handles again.
Any ideas welcome.
