[QUOTE="TPaul, post: 316166, member: 8055"] Dear Janet, Sorry I have not seen this post earilier. I have been so busy that I only get a few minutes on the board each day lately. The furniture most likely, from your description sounds like a Queen Anne style. Pictures would help to know for sure. There where many companies that reproduced those styles of furniture from the very early period pieces. Post some pics of those and I will see if I can tell for sure. Also look for a makers mark on these items also. Many times they are on the back of the items or on an inside of a drawer. The plates are problably from the Spoke on Trent or Staffordshire area in England. They produced many different patterns. From one of your post, you said they resembled blue willow that you saw in a shop. The blue willow pattern is an oriental themed decoration. It normally has a pagoda in the background, two flying birds, representing two young lovers, trees, a water feature, etc... There are many variations of the pattern. The above though are always present in the different pattern variations. Is there a makers mark on the bottom of the dishes? Your spoons sound like mint julip spoons. If you get pictures of the silver stuff and pewter, I will see if I can help on those. [/QUOTE]
