<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 357050, member: 308&quot;]Hi and Welcome Sarah - it&#039;s a bit difficult to date these sets.&nbsp; Most came out after WWII and continued up into the 1990&#039;s.&nbsp; If I had to guess I&#039;d say 1950&#039;s to 1960&#039;s.&nbsp; It was the era of bridge parties and social teas where a hostess would use this type of set to serve coffee and little cakes and/or cookies to her guests.&nbsp; There are likely no more pieces available than what you have except for possibly a teapot.</p><p><br /></p><p>My mother informs me that the cups and saucers were not used at bridge parties.&nbsp; While the cookies were served, highballs were the drink of choice.&nbsp; But then again mama always ran with a fast crowd.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were not open stock items so did not need a pattern name.&nbsp; Unlike full china services you couldn&#039;t go to your jeweler or department store to order replacement pieces.&nbsp; As no replacements pieces could be ordered pattern names were unnecessary. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this makes sense.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
