Antique Questions Forum / Made in U.S.A. Limoges

« on: November 16, 2006, 11:27:22 am »

Does anyone have any info on a dinnerware set I have that was my grandmother's.  On the back it says
Made in U.S.A. Limoges.  Under that is written DuBARRY    Under that 5K-NI.  It has a fluted edge, center motif of flowers (roses, tulip and small daisy-like flowers)  A smaller version is around the rim at 12,3,6,& 9 o'clock.  
I think it was made in the 30's or 40's.  I'm wondering about its worth?  and is it safe to eat off of? (lead?),  I have plates, soup bowls, dessert bowls, sugar creamer.  The plates and soup bowls have the markings but the other pieces do not.  Thank you for any help.
