I have a set of Sango Cordon Bleu china and I am trying to date it. I was wondering if you knew. I have tried to find it online but can’t seem to get a date for it.

I am using, what my mom told us was her “china”. She was married in the early 50s. It’s a very light gray, no design on it , and off to the side of the plates is the shape of a leaf, BOUT 2-3 LONG IN darker shade of gray. Each plate has a hand signature on the back. Wilard or Wulard. Last name starts with a G or D, I can’t quit make ou the rest of it, but it ends in 2 Gs, Ps, or Ys. Can you help me at all. It’s very cool and retro looking, (which was so NOT, my mom).
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
I inherited some Royal Ming porcelain china from my grandmother. Per Replacements LTD the pattern is RMI1. They have one pink and green maple leaf in the center. They have a crescent shaped Label on the back that says Royal Ming China -Made in Japan. Does anyone out there have any information about the Royal Ming China company?
I would like to know:
1. When this china was made
2. Where in Japan the company is or was located.
My grandmother owned a grocery store from the late 1920s until 1984. I suspect she got them from a vendor for selling their line of products or she got the out of boxes of detergent. She wasn’t the type of person who would have spent money for china. I am also looking for one more dinner plate to complete my 8 piece place settings. Thanks for any information. Debbie

My mother received a small set of dishes from someone who says their grandparents purchased the set in Japan in the early 1900’s. I have pictures of the dishes. How can I find out what if any value the dishes have?

Myrtis,

I just picked up 35 pieces of this L.L. Bean ” Oak Leaf and Acorn” border dinnerware. I don’t have it listed yet, but if you contact me I’m sure we can work something out.

Purchased from LL Bean in the 1970’s or early 80’s. Dark Green with oak leaf and acorn design on all plates and mugs. Made in Japan. LL Bean also sold a matching oak leaf and acorn stainless steel service separately. I have broken several dinner plates and wish to replace them if possible.
