| I'd like to search for it, but no idea what it's called. **I have a few pieces**, and often see it in smaller items such as teapots, creamers, etc. Wonder if it was/is made in serving dishes? Would be lovely accent if place settings have gold rims, etc. What ARE they called, please! Thank you.
** for example, mine is marked "Wheeling dec co. Wheeling W.Va. and has fine filigree of gold all over. |

| Hi leahcate, Do your pieces look anything like this? I was just wondering about this piece that sounded similar to what you describe. I'm sure someone will be able to help. |

| Hi diggin...nope, mine is much more like to yours, lindac. Mine is from Wheeling W.va., according to the bottom marks...not that it need be the same company. I thought this look might be nice in a vegetable dish, or other larger serving pieces, though I have never seen one. |

| It's Homer Laughlin, deistrubted by the Wheeling Dec. Co. (which is what I used for a google search.) It's called Georgian Eggshell Gold 626. I'd look at Replacements Ltd for more pieces. |

| Hey there ideefixe:>) You're a better googler than I, since that's just what I did but missed this site. Thank you! After nosing about online I've come to the conclusion that these pieces were/are not made as larger serving ware, so guess it's back to plain ole' silver or china . Ah well, just an idea. |
