I finally had an evening free to go through boxes of old china that my husband's grandmother gave to us a year ago and counted ~ 120 pieces! A few have light crazing (as you can see on the last picture), but they are in pretty good shape. I found only one small chip on a tea cup. Grandma did a pretty good job of preserving the set for us.
I believe this pattern of Sebring China was made in the early 20th century. An interesting bit of trivia is how much smaller dinner plates used to be in comparison to the set I us now which are a full inch larger. Now I am off to research the pattern.
This is what I counted:
12 - Dinner Plates 9 1/2"
13 - Salad Plates 7"
10 - Bread and Butter Plates 6 1/4"
17 - Saucers 5 3/4"
15 - Soup Bowls 8"
16 - Sauce Bowls 6"
14 - Dessert Bowls 5"
12 - Tea Cups
1 - Serving Bowl 9"
1 - Covered Vegetable Bowl 9"
3 - Platters; 12" round, 13 1/2" oval, and 11 1/2" oval
1 - 4" Compote with 6" plate with handles
1 - Creamer and 1 - Sugar bowl with lid
What a beautiful complete dinner service, so well cared for
This is a gorgeous classical elegant collection, especially the 22K gold trimmings! My Mother bought two full sets of these generations ago [one with the red trim and the other with an antique white trim] and I still treasure them today, but I am going to have to let them go as I am downsizing.
