Antique Questions Forum / Vintage china by Salem

« on: September 07, 2007, 04:16:13 pm »

I am trying to find some information on a set of china that belonged to my great grandmother. She received it as a wedding gift. I have searched until I am purple!! It is ivory(may have been white when new)It has a pale green ring around and has hand painted 23 k gold floral pattern  over that. The bottom mark is done in 23k gold and says Century by Salem made in U.S.A. 23 karat gold. The word Century ia done in an arch over 3 rings with by Salem incorporated inside the rings. I am guessing it would be circa1900-1905? It is a beautiful set of dishes. Any info would be greatly appreciated! I noticed that when the lid is on the sugar bowl if it is aligned right with the pattern reminds me of a wedding ring pattern. Thanks!
