Re: grandmothers fine china

The Hira China Company is still in existance today and made export china....The pattern you have dates it from late 50's, early 60's....Its a nice complete set and would retail sell for about $300....on these older sets, indivudal pieces can command a higher total value when sold separately as replacement pieces.
