A couple of months ago my 106 yo aunt gave me these dishes that she has been saving for me for years. She has recently taken a turn for the worst and is not well enough to provide more information on them. I know she was born in Italy and came to the US as a child. She has spent most of her life in California. My grandma remembers them from over 65 years ago but doesn’t know any more.
I’ve looked online many places and have only found info on one site, but it doesn’t have much to give. Any help would be appreciated. Better sites to search, antique stores in Portland Oregon you like, better keywords to search?
I am curious why people are so fascinated by pattern “names”. As if these would increase value or massively help finding other pieces nowadays. German (and many Bohemian) producers very rarely named their patterns but left that to the importers/distributors. As result, each and every pattern may or may not have at least two names worldwide. There are even cases in which a pattern has two official names in the US alone (one West Coast and one East Coast name) depending on who imported/distributed the goods.
It is of course hard to find additions or comparable items to check pricing but today nearly everybody uses a mix of perceived ‘original’ names, some made up eBay nonsense, and the non-official Replacements.com stock codes. Don’t ask me why. As result, even knowing a specific name does not guarantee anything..

You mean you can`t find the company ?? Or the pattern ?? Many of these little florals have no pattern name !! They are still in business !!
Produced by the [b]Gräflich Thun’sche Porzellan-Fabrik Klösterle[/b] in Klösterle, Czechoslovakia (today Klasterec, Czech Republic). Shown mark was in use between 1933 and 1938.
Next to that info, what do you expect to find or hear ? The one site you found [i]”doesn’t have much to give”[/i], still you don’t mention what you are trying to find.
My apologies, I didn’t realize that it didn’t show my other pictures. I’ve updated the post. I’m trying to find the dates of when it was printed, which you gave thank you, the name of the pattern, how much they are worth, anything. I kept running into a brick wall trying to find the pattern. With the site I gave, I don’t think that is the correct name of the pattern. Forgive me, this is new to me and I was unsure of how to find information.
I haven’t been able to find the pattern with information attached to it.
