You are the aficionado sweet girly, I have no idea...just think it is pretty! we used to go to the Bahamas a lot for labor day or memorial day many years ago when I was a little girl and she would always get a new place setting while there as I guess it was less expensive...It is ivory with gold trim..The gold trim has a swirly design...She also bought it at Jordan Marsh, probably before your time.
Have a great day!

That sounds gorgeous. I love ivory with gold color pattern. What a luxury - not only a vacation in the Bahamas, but coming back with beautiful dishes. I'm going to look up Jordan Marsh.
oh let me go get the pattern....be right back! ok Minton/Buckingham...These things took on so much more ceremony 50 years back...now hardly anyone collects china...i have some cleopatra i bought at a auction we like to go to ...to add pieces as they were close enough and cheap...got extra serving pieces for a song...I had to divide mine with my sister...years ago. :) Fun stuff!
Thanks! I remember people when I was a child talking about china. My mother rebelled against being a housewife and against everything her mother was into - like china - so I didn't really experience this at home. I'll go check out Minton, Buckingham and Cleopatra.
Good for you! Even though my mother died so young ..my life was so rich with the time I did have with her and my father...I was so blessed, thank you for reminding me of that.
Smiling inside,

I am glad you got to have that time with her and sorry to hear she died young. I found the Minton/Buckingham - it's gorgeous! Couldn't find Cleopatra, though.
