Fluckey, was an American &quot;artist for Limoges and other premier porcelain makers of the day.&quot;</p><p>(I doubt she actually worked &quot;for&quot; Limoges, etc. It&#039;s more likely she simply hand-painted porcelain blanks for some US group that purchased/imported them.)</p><p><br /></p><p>She did some very pretty work!</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Thomas&quot; isn&#039;t the pattern name, but rather a German porcelain brand founded in 1903. In your case, they made the porcelain blanks that L.S. Fluckey then hand-painted.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among a few other similar listings, there are some Fluckey-painted &quot;Thomas&quot; 6-inch plates <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/304888455736?hash=item46fcc4a238:g:sRkAAOSwg2FkNrZq&amp;amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4MrhhqH%2BvxfjucpTdWYQw4O%2FmEswO5iiqVc7iGv7QtZfWgKpqCAwDNi1bKtizEDsnjblPFRBtNv%2BnfmIfjv1dA3tNHdcBTiLJh7P3SWDwyJQe10raHkJdBZ0GQDt7c%2BZ6yBbNHAUJ%2BNqWh1NJ8rg9hozTbHzc49GScJp5Ro2DroFJUfxYB4sJbqURlE1EN%2FlM3ngKYxN%2FtQle%2BmO2%2FYlYxAkdiIVAWoFPS8WbbvxsFK6DsvxlwTCcyrt2KIvzGmH2we8a1Obi4dGK%2FMLrZHdMlNXV%2FRVSBRYtEz0SdmPleyl%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7SCt5vnYg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/304888455736?hash=item46fcc4a238:g:sRkAAOSwg2FkNrZq&amp;amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4MrhhqH%2BvxfjucpTdWYQw4O%2FmEswO5iiqVc7iGv7QtZfWgKpqCAwDNi1bKtizEDsnjblPFRBtNv%2BnfmIfjv1dA3tNHdcBTiLJh7P3SWDwyJQe10raHkJdBZ0GQDt7c%2BZ6yBbNHAUJ%2BNqWh1NJ8rg9hozTbHzc49GScJp5Ro2DroFJUfxYB4sJbqURlE1EN%2FlM3ngKYxN%2FtQle%2BmO2%2FYlYxAkdiIVAWoFPS8WbbvxsFK6DsvxlwTCcyrt2KIvzGmH2we8a1Obi4dGK%2FMLrZHdMlNXV%2FRVSBRYtEz0SdmPleyl%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7SCt5vnYg" rel="nofollow">up on eBay now</a>, a set of four listed for $22.99. Keep in mind that is an <i>asking</i> price, not a sale price. And that said, there are no sold listings available for comparison so it doesn&#039;t seem that they&#039;re a popular item to purchase. In general, vintage china/porcelain dishes are a hard sell and whole sets often go for peanuts, if sold at all. People want the convenience of &quot;dishwasher safe&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, where would you sell them? On a national/international platform such as eBay, where - if sold - the buyer would incur a large charge for shipping and you&#039;d have to pack them all safely? Or on a local platform such as Facebook Marketplace, where just about anything sells for as little as half of the price seen on eBay (if sold at all) but no packing and shipping makes it worthwhile for the seller?</p><p><br /></p><p>You say you have 33 pieces... what sorts of pieces? Any complete place settings? How many? Any serving pieces? Which types? The composition of the set affects its sale-ability although, regardless, it&#039;s likely not to bring much $$ due to what I&#039;ve already mentioned above. I ask those questions because, if there are any interested parties, they often want enough of the appropriate pieces to be able to use the set for a small tea or luncheon with a few friends. (Buying china dishes just for display is not very popular anymore, so the pool of potential buyers is quite small, and even smaller if you only list locally.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The aforementioned &quot;Thomas&quot; plates painted by Fluckey on eBay:</p><p><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/sRkAAOSwg2FkNrZq/s-l1600.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
