it is difficult to really see the pattern in the glass, but the large oval platter appears to be 'Princess' by Anchor Hocking from the early 1930s.
Thanks TallCakes .. I'll try to take a couple of better pictures. Manikin, I'll do that, go to ebay that is. Thanks to you both.
The platter is Princess by Hocking Glass Company from the early 1930s. Anchor Hocking wasn't formed until 1937. The cup and saucer appears to be Hazel Atlas' Florentine #2. Plates may be that too, very difficult to see the pattern.
As much as I LOVE the internet, I find that the best sources for identifications are any of the books by Gene Florence. Even the field guide is a great source.
