It is gently octogon shaped with four panels of gold fern and four panels of olive green with gold lacelike pattern. Five gold bands at the base 4 wide and 1 thin. Gold band at the top and a gold fill line inside. Gold handle. It is made by Tuscan. this the only piece I have of this set.

Gorgeous, I can understand why you want the saucer, and other pieces - I didn't find any - so may I suggest:
www.replacements.co m follow instructions on home page, and they'll want pics of the backstamp also - they give excellent customer service from my personal experience and not only can identify the pattern, but will notify you when other pieces come in
and also: www.edish.com again, other searchers have posted back over the years that they too got excellent customer service and were able to purchase the "fill-in" pieces
Best wishes, KB

Thank you for the reply. Replacements has not seen this either but said they would keep looking. My wife found this at an antique/junk store some 5 years ago for $5.00. Given it's decoration and my difficulty in finding a pattern much less other pieces, I rather fancy (as we all do at times) I have a rare piece. On the other hand it has lit a fire and I have since collected 3 other Tuscan Cups and saucers as well as 5-6 other brands that are extremely decorative in appearance. Will check out the other listing you gave thanks.

A lazy one though. I went through 4-5 pages on replacements. Something I've dreaded. Did not see any of my 4 patterns. Did however with your first link establish that all 4 of my patterns are post 1947 via potters mark. Thanks.

just a FYI - last Saturday I made my regular visits to my favorite local malls, shops (small town here) and my eye went right to a gorgeous handle-less cup - nice - picked up, lo & behold, Tuscan - no saucer, $18. KB :D

These are my other 3 with saucers. I didn't see these at replacements or anywhere else. So if you recognize these it would be appreciated.

You can also see why I particularly like these Tuscans.
