West Virginia Treasures: More Dishes of Granny's

This is the other set of dishes that I got at my uncle's house that belonged to my Granny. I don't think that she ever used these dishes at all. They appear to be brand new to me. I do remember talking to her almost 20 years ago about wanting some white dishes with gold trim. I'm pretty sure that she bought them around that time. Granny loved pretty things, but she never used them. I will use them at the next family get together at my house in honor of my Granny.

This set of dishes has 8 dinner plates, 8 salad or dessert plates, 8 cups and saucers and I think I'm missing a few of the bowls.

It took a lot of time to wash all of these dishes by hand! I didn't want to put them in the dishwasher yet. I'm not sure if I will ever put them in the dishwasher even though they say they are dishwasher safe on the bottom.

I have no idea about the company that made these dishes. As most of you know I'm not a fan of things made in China, but I'll have to overlook that because these were Granny's dishes.
