Title: MWW dishes
Post by: kdrose on November 02, 2016, 03:08:51 PM

Hello, I have tried to post a questions with pictures and it didn't work so I am trying again with a different set of dinnerware. A friend gave me a set of MWW dinnerware, a 4-piece place setting without cups but with wine/champagne flutes. There is also a drinks pitcher and a utensil holder/ice bucket and a teapot. 19 pieces total. I have never seen any dinnerware like this before and can not find anything on the web regarding MWW dinnerware. I was hoping someone could help. Please see attached pictures.

I can't tell you much other than the apparent source...http://www.ebay.com/itm/SET-OF-4-STATELY-FLORAL-MINI-PLATES-MANUAL-WOODWORKERS-amp-WEAVERS-/272337225336?hash=item3f68904678%3Ag%3AKT8AAOSwdzVXq5b4&nma=true&si=51HsXw3oEQxBCSMNCxwgO0%252BYwQ4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/SET-OF-4-STATELY-FLORAL-MINI-PLATES-MANUAL-WOODWORKERS-amp-WEAVERS-/272337225336?hash=item3f68904678%3Ag%3AKT8AAOSwdzVXq5b4&nma=true&si=51HsXw3oEQxBCSMNCxwgO0%252BYwQ4%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

KdRose,

Seems very modern. Many of the WMM Market  dishware shown on eBay have barcodes on the dishes or boxes. It was not until the 1980's that barcodes started being common in stores.

Believe this is Manual Woodworkers and Weavers Market, Inc. based out of North Carolina since 1932 where they started mainly manufacturing/selling tourist items). They have been successful in keeping up with buying trends in the market and positioned themselves well to grown themselves to a successful wholesale Home Decor company.  So, you will see their products sold in specialty stores, trade shows, Boutiques, etc.

Information on the Company and even have online catalogs for what they are tending currently!
