Description
Mom's grama's china
Cannot find pattern anywhere
No markings
thought it was a Nippon
or Noritake
because the swans looked alike but they are not
2 swans are embossed white paint
the tea cups and saucers are bone china, almost
see through now
Great grama died in 1936, I've inherited them.
She may have bought them in Italy or New York
wedding china.
Looking for more information and rough estimate
of 4 teacups, saucers, 1 sugar bowl and 4 luncheon plates
Re: Unknown pattern
If they were Noritake or Morimura Bros, they would be marked....the problem you will have is if they were made prior to the McKinley tariff act (1890) there was not a requirement to mark the country of origin on imports to the US....and if it was purchased overseas in the country of origin, domestic items would not be marked either. If the teacups are in EXCELLENT condition they might sell for around $100 for all the pieces, but you list them as fair....any scratches in the hand painting, chips or other damage, would significantly reduce the value.
