Thank you Taffy and Ana. No I didn't break it for today's word, but I was pretty mad at myself when I did break it. I just haven't gotten around to gluing it back together which worked to my advantage today.
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie- not quite Egyptian. The label reads "Calyx Ware" (could possibly also be called ironstone). It was made by the Adams company of England and the pattern is called "Singapore Bird". I have two sets (neither complete) combined from my mother's set which were our everyday dishes. At some point, my grandmother "inherited" them when my mother bought a white set from Sturbridge Village, Ma. The newer pieces I have were the ones my grandmother purchased to fill in mom's set. When my grandmother passed away, my aunt remembered they were originally my mother's and gave them back to me. I then used them as my everyday dishes. One day I happened upon a display of the dishes in a store and thought I'd check out the cost of replacing a few pieces that had broken. What a shock to find out that my everyday lunch plate was $75!! Needless to say, they were no longer our everyday dishes after that!
Thank you Cindy, Timothy, Yao, Rick (yes, I was very upset and you can see why in my response to Maggie!) and Sally. Sadly it is now only valuable in sentiment.
