I think the video is especially scary for mothers of teenagers. When I watched the video, I was talking out loud and telling those kids to stop talking and take cover.

They were good employees, though, and washed the dishes and turned off the lights first.

You sent me on quite a quest yesterday and I still don’t have an answer. The dinnerware was my husband’s grandmother’s. The people she worked for gave the dishes to her. My husband’s grandmother kept house for and cooked for the Lozier family and when the Lozier’s replaced household items they gave their old stuff to her. (More about the Lozier family here: http://jolynna.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/dh%e2%80%99s-dutch-hoe%e2%80%a6a-gardening-heritage/ ).

Anyway, the dinnerware is Haviland Limoges. From the marks on the back, it was made between 1890 and 1930. I have been trying to find the pattern name, but there are 30,000 Haviland patterns and I haven’t yet been successful. However, as a result of your question, I had fun doing research.

I think your china pattern is gorgeous and wonder if you would tell me the pattern name and who makes it? Thanks in advance!

Take care now.
