Wondering if this tea set (which is unmarked) looks familiar to anyone. I find similar to this made by Lenox and Hall, but the form and decoration is different. Close inspection has failed to reveal any hallmarks. Thanks.
(Edited to add...) I am expanding this into the Sterling Silver section to see if there is any recommendations on where the hallmark might be located on these items and how big it might be.
Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

WOW:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ditto on the wow! I was going to love it but I saw I already had LONG ago. :-)
Thanks for the 'wows'. This piece now resides in Australia thanks to a buyer whose feedback on the transaction consisted of "STUNNING!!!!!!! N I THINK YOU SPENT WHOLE DAY TO PACKED IT" (which I did ;^) Turns out it was made by the English Gibson China Co. in case anyone was wondering.
