Hi, I found this tea set, along with a few other random pieces, under a bed in a cabin that was built in 1923 with a note. The note is from my mother-in-law, who was born in 1939, and it says "These are the gold-banded 'wedding-ring' pattern tea set that were my great-great-great grandmother's." So ... OLD. None of the pieces, save two, have any markings at all, so I don't know where they came from. The two trays are marked (no ink) with an anchor surrounded by a laurel wreath. Most of the stuff in this cabin comes from upstate New York (not the city), so I was thinking it could be Syracuse China, and the pattern looks similar to some of theirs, but I couldn't find any evidence that company used anchors, and I think these pieces may predate Syracuse China. I also could not find the mark in any markings library. There are 12 salad plates, all in good shape; 12 saucers, all in good shape; 6 small saucer-like bowls on which the gold has worn off on all but one; two trays in good shape; one creamer in good shape; 8 cups, one badly cracked; one serving bowl in good shape; one pitcher thing in good shape; and a coffee pot with a cracked lid and a stained spout. IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not asking for an appraisal of all pieces. I am simply trying to find out the manufacturer and year of these pieces. I will pay for three appraisals, and I don't even care of what pieces, but realize it might be impossible to do so. If you can just do what you can, I would appreciate that greatly. My main goal is broad: I would like to know what I have (manufacturer and approx year) and if it's very valuable. Thank you -- Laurel
