Your set is what's called "Silver Luster", the company that made it was established in 1814 and is still working. The company makes fine quality porcelain dinnerwares and figurines. The mark has changed through the years, your "Black Knight" mark dates from 1920-1940, the Hutchenruether 1814-1914 mark was used until late 1933. Value- $200.00 Lovejoy
