And thanks for the book info, Wendy!  I'm always on the lookout for new books on collectables  :)

Apologies if this hijacks the thread but I was intrigued by the similarities of the OP's dishes and an old bowl that has been stored in my house for 30 years.  It came from my stepdad's old house in southern Illinois. I know nothing about markings but can find none on this item.

That looks quite different to me Jondar !! Looks more like the Bavarian pieces !! Hers looks thick while yours looks quite thin and delicate !! I am looking at the edges of the bowl !! But could just be the pic !!

Hi Jondar! You should put this bowl in a new topic so more people will notice it. I wish I could help. It's a gorgeous bowl and even I want to know what it is! Hope you find out.

Mart  -  You are quite correct.  It is very thin and light.  Like lifting a feather.

Snowflake - Good suggestion.  I have the feeling that this was the property of my stepdad Wallace's grandfather who returned from serving in the 10th Illinois Regiment in the CW.  He built the old house this came from.  I gave a lot of the items to the Goodwill but I just couldn't part with this.

I just want to check if I am learning. The style looks like stuff listed as prussia porcelain. Am I way off? Sorry for asking. Just curious.

My guess would be a berry bowl listed under prussia. I am finding very similar ones using that search. I'll keep looking. I am in love with these things! They are all so beautiful...

Thanks fancypants!  Gotheborg.com helped me to date some Nippon and Satsuma that I have.
