This is a very nice set complete of 8 large plates, 8 dessert plates, 8 coffee cups, 8 saucers, a creamer, a sugar bowl, and a large round platter. The pattern is a rim of silver metal on the outer edge and a pale white floral pattern. Very subtle and pretty.
There are no visible cracks or chips that I can see. Grandmother never really used this set and I don't have the space for it, so would like for it to go to a good home where it can be used and appreciated.
Door is hinged at the bottom and opens to reveal the writing surface. Inside has cubby holes and drawers. Its history is unknown. It has been in the family for at least three generations. I would like to know what it's called, what it may be worth, and what is the history behind such pieces.
