I don't know much about these other than the obvious. The china belonged to the hubby's Grandma and is at least 40 years old - may be older as it may have belonged to his G-Gma but not sure. I looked on replacements and see nothing to match the mark - poked around some obvious named patterns but no luck so thought I'd try here. Don't really need a value as we aren't selling - actually may need to buy a few.
Thanks for your help! (PS: I'll keep looking on replacements too so if this is labor intensive, don't bother. I'm just hoping someone would know)

I just found one that is close... Do China Makers do variations of the same theme?

Apologies if you get multiple posts, but for some reason I keep losing them.
Hi Oceans,
Yours seems to be called Franconia, either for the design or the artist....

Your piece is by FRANCONIA/KRAUTHEIM and the pattern name is CARMEN When searching on www.replacements.co m the company is listed as Krautheim-see Fr click that and you can find the pattern :) They placed the pattern in diffrent spots within a pattern line depending on shape & size of the piece. (was that clear or to confusing) :-\

Thank you both!!!! I was searching thru a bunch of patterns and started in the middle... Was going to take me awhile to get to "C"'s AMAZING how you guys found that so fast!! Saved me a bunch of time... Making a note an putting it in the box :)
Thank you SO much...

I think Wendy is up on me, as I just found another piece by 'Franconia' but a different design .
You probably have already come across this site, but I stumbled across it by pure chance

Hahaha Mariok... then you must have acidentally sent me the right pattern on eBay... In fact I am missing EXACTLY 2 tea cups. I'm not going to buy them now as we are packing to move and I will worry about it when we get there but I thought it was funny!!!
I had already put in some time searching and you 2 just popped right out with the answer :)

Always happy to oblige :)

Yup mariok54 you had the correct maker just helpin out with the pattern name :)

Bit of information....this pattern and variations (made by all different makers) were some of the most popular after WWII.
You could buy unmarked versions at the 5 & Dime stores.

Good to know KC - I wish they still did sell them in 5 & Dimes so I could get some cheap for the heavy handed steak knife users in my family!! In the past (with other china) I've just mixed an matched with plain white china-like dishes and let the men use those! ::)

LOL! Know what you mean!
