Hi,
I’m sorry I didn’t receive you post earlier. I can confirm that Nieri is not part of DURON. They traded around the same time, doing similar chalkware , and that is where the confusion can arise. All the information I have found is on the site. It just takes me time to compile it all, and now my visits to the National Archives are few and far between. Kind regards Simon
