Description
I have a set of dishes made by Edwin M. Knowles China Co. On the bottom of the dishes it says Semi Vitreous and then the name of the manufacturer and Made in USA. They all say 41 and then a dash and then some say 1 or 2 or 3. I have the full set except for 1 missing cup. They all have the same flower pattern which has very bold colors.

Re: Edwin M. Knowles China Co
According to the date mark Knowles used, your set was made in March, 1941, but sadly they have no great value to collectors. The market is currently flooded with early to mid 20th century china with few interested buyers. We often see sets like this go at auction for less than $150.00.
Re: Edwin M. Knowles China Co
Thanks Lovejoy appreciate the information! I was thinking they were probably a mass marketed item. Maybe I'll hang onto them for a few more years and maybe then they'll be worth something :)
