Possibly Herend?

Here is a link that might be useful: herend

Thank you for the suggestion, Linda. That may be it. The feel is correct, though some details are not as I recall. I don't remember the smaller scaled ornamentation being so regular. However that seems to be the best option within Herend, and Herend looks like a very likely candidate.

We had a 12-piece place setting of the green and white china with many serving dishes. Remembering my Norwegian grandmother's comment that food looks best on plain white china, I opted for the other set (of completely plain white china). I was 21 at the time. Ah, hindsight. I can see that I won't be reassembling a set now, at these prices.

I really appreciate your taking the time to help me.

Linda, having done some more googling of images, I'm sure your right. The sculpted shape of some of the larger Herend tureens, the openwork "woven" bowls, and the half lemon atop some handles are suggestive of some of the pieces we had. Thanks again for your expertise and help.

I though perhaps it might be Mottahedeh Chelsea Botanicals, the china that makes me drool...

Sweeby, that's not the one, but it sure is lovely.

Have you looked through the Spode patterns?

Thanks for the suggestion, Texas. I did quickly look through Spode and didn't see anything similar to our old China. I'm pretty sure Linda's suggestion is the right one, though I surely welcome any other thoughts.
