Re: 17 piece Tea Set service for six
The name of the pattern should be written on the back of your dishes - The Favolina Company did this with all their patterns. And since you didn't include a photo of any of the backsides, I cannot really tell if they have the pattern name written on the back (or not).
And, from what I know, their dishes were imported into this country beginning in the 1960's. How do I know that? Well, I was with my Grandmother when she purchased her set of Favolina Diana Dishes at a store called Abraham & Strauss (A&S) in Lindenhurst, Long Island, NY, sometime in the 1960's; they were her favorite set of "china". Our family still has the set - an almost complete set, the only part I've searched for all these years is the Teapot, and I've never found one in the Diana pattern.
Good Luck in finding more information.

Currently the market is flooded with mid 20th century tea & coffee services of this type, which has depressed values even for sets by the best makers. at auction sets like yours often sell for less than $100.00.
