[QUOTE="cmetzbower, post: 13148711, member: 115377"]Thank you! I have been searching for old department store adverts and catalogs and found a couple Wanamaker catalogs from the 1920s that have some info but the most promising is a Gimbel’s catalog from 1911. It shows two sets of Limoges porcelain. Neither pattern matches mine but the shape of the plates and cups match. It lists what came in a 100-piece/12 place setting set. I know the New York company Vogt & Dose was the sole T&V distributor for the United States and Canada, so I’ve been focusing my search on stores and suppliers in the northeast. I know it’s extremely unlikely I’ll find an advert with my pattern in it but my plan has been to make the missing pieces. I’m going to use pieces in other patterns to make molds and then use transfers to copy my pattern to the new blanks. I did happen to find a set of 6 bowls in my pattern on eBay, so I’m still keeping an eye out for originals.[/QUOTE]
