<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 337027, member: 308&quot;]If I&#039;m seeing the color right that marks dates to 1918.&nbsp; According to my Pickard book (Reed) this black decal was used circa 1918-1919.&nbsp; It&#039;s the color that determines the date.&nbsp; If the mark was red or brown it would be earlier.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As we were still at war with Germany in 1918 (if I remember my history correctly) it&#039;s most likely these were purchased as excess stock sometime prior to the start of WWI.&nbsp; Pickard did not produce china itself but rather bought blanks from other companies which they then decorated.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t able to find the name of your decoration and it&#039;s quite possible it didn&#039;t have a name.&nbsp; Most Pickard pieces with a relatively simple gold decoration do not have pattern names.&nbsp; It might have a pattern name if it had an all-over gold pattern or had gold with painted panels or borders.&nbsp; </p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
