(That "Alice" pattern is gorgeous!) <br /><br /> I now know (thanks to your post) that the two plates I have are the Jane Ray pattern. We used them at our family's summer cottage when I was growing up. I need to look again at the items we took out of there -- I do believe there may have been a mug or two. And that lidded sugar bowl looks awfully familiar too. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and beautiful jadeite items.Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963715413937738878.post-58424709174827052802016-04-13T10:01:55.411-05:002016-04-13T10:01:55.411-05:00Great post Cecilia.

No lid, but I love it! I have a mug and paid $10 for both it and the saucer at a thrift. They were marked $10 each and the employee thought it was high and just said he would give them both to me for $10. Oh happy day! One thing I am curios about is the different shades. Do you know much about that? I have it all housed in my glass cabinets and there are two distinct shades. Thanks for sharing with SYC.<br />hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963715413937738878.post-51298801141675166732016-04-11T19:03:47.117-05:002016-04-11T19:03:47.117-05:00When we got married in 1957 We were given a dinner...When we got married in 1957 We were given a dinner set of jadite. I never knew it was collectable, of course it was common back then. I think I only have two cups and saucers up in the top of my cupboard that are left. From your pictures I would say they are the Alice pattern--same as your plate.. I didn't even know there were different patterns! I had to go look and see what I had. At our wedding we also got a set of dishes but they were sort of a gold color, solid like the jadite and with a pattern. Do you know what these would have been?Joan DRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02596614685689323784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963715413937738878.post-20017718265683131492016-04-11T02:24:31.468-05:002016-04-11T02:24:31.468-05:00I have never seen jadeite except in expensive shop...I have never seen jadeite except in expensive shops.

I am surprised at the value of some of the pieces. Several years ago, I sold some of the D-handle mugs/cups on eBay as was shocked at what they sold for. Happy hunting.<br />Hugs,<br />Audrey Z.

I have the Jane Ray lidded sugar and creamer from years ago (a great price too, and prices were already soaring then). Charm and Restaurant ware are my favorite lines, but availability has me holding more restaurant ware than any other. I love its thickness and durability. Can you imagine paying $75 for the c-cup?!Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.com
