Item Details

Description

I have an incomplete set of antique dishes here. Includes: 2 -8 3/4" Cake plates, 11 -7" plates, 12 -5 5/8" saucers (bowl shape - about an inch deep), 9 teacups, 1 - 6 5/8" bowl (about 3.5" deep), 1 cream pitcher, 1 sugar bowl with lid, 1 tea pot without the lid - broken spout and handle.

The set was packed in a wooden box with a list of pieces and a date written on the inside cover. The list states some pieces that are missing though, 1 plate and the 2 odd cups are missing. All  pieces are unmarked. I believe this set belonged to my husband's great grandmother, Flora S. Woodruff from Washington, CT. The initials E.J.W. are also written on the box - This may be my husband's Grandmother Ellen Jane Woodruff.

The dishes are aged considerably, granted I am no expert. Most of the pieces are crazed, some cracked. When held up to a light, you can see through the cake plates and saucers. The design is raised, a light purple color then, looks to be hand painted gold lines along the design.

Any information on theis set would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
