Cafe Au Lait - not just a milky coffee

This is one of my favourite pots Cafe Au Lait - Mango's. I always wondered where the name for the style came from and to be honest I still am no nearer finding out. I think it has something to do with the brown stippled look which would make sense, but I'm no expert. I did find out from one website today that most of the Cafe Au Lait was produced around 1931-33 so at least I have some idea of the age of the piece
