California Originals Pink Pitcher

I had seen this pitcher earlier at the thrift store and was sort of wondering who had made it. There was no backstamp or sticker, but I definitely thought it was a California pottery. It just had that look to it. After seeing a similar pitcher in blue in Studiosmith’s photostream, I went back to the thrift store to take this photo for reference.
At this point, I’m fairly certain it’s made by California Originals, which was originally called Heirlooms of Tomorrow. They produced over a fairly long period of time, from the 1940s up until the 80s. I’ve seen other items with the same pink and blue glazes with gold speckle that had the California Originals foil label - this would be the reason why there’s no other markings on the items.
