My wife has a nearly complete set of china that was her grandmother's. We'd like to get some idea of it's value and replace a couple of missing pieces. I've searched on the web but can't find a match. The china has scalloped (fluted?) edges traced with silver. The pattern is a branch of a rose bush that has four pink roses in various stages of opening (fully open, 3/4 open and two just starting to open). In addition, the vine has one node that looks like a rose hip but it is blue. The only piece that's marked is the serving bowl and the inscription is:
Ivory Porcelain by Sebring 2-24-1925. In addition it has the NRA eagle symbol.
Any help identifying this pattern greatly appreciated.

not your pattern I think but has your logo:

I don't know what the connection is between Sebring dinnerware and the NRA - this dinnerware might have been a premium offered exclusively to members - just guessing
Good sites for replacements:
www.replacements.co m
www.edish.com
www.robbinsnest.com
Scroll thru the replacements first - for Sebring - you can also send them a photo of front & back of a couple of pieces - include the logo and use a plate and cup/saucer set & bowl if you have one - ask them if they can identify and let them know what pieces you're looking for - good site
and you can scroll youself - there's lots of lovely rose printed plates - if you find your pattern the prices given are high retail replacement - your value to sell the set may be one third to one half. Best wishes in your continued searches. KB
