Hi Jeff!  I'm pretty sure this is the mark of KIRALPO WARE, the initials in the shield should read

K&Co
E

The mark dates from 1928 onwards, and was used by Kirkland & Co, Albion Pottery, Etruria, Staffordshire.

Source:  page 374 of Godden's British Pottery & Porcelain Marks.

Edited to add: here's an example of the mark in a thicker gold version...

and a faded greeny colour version:
