This is my all time favorite. I think my grandfather bought it for me at an antique store or flea market in 1985, due to a sticker that he put on the back (he marked things with my name and date when he did that) From what I've read, the pattern was discontinued in 1921. But, not everything you read on the internet is true... Wish I could find a whole set, but I'd probably go broke in doing so :-P

Beautiful! I have seen these on ebay from time to time. : )
Just out of curiosity, where do you keep this one?? *EG* Sticky fingers run in the family you know. But seriously, I LOVE this one and never remember seeing it.
It's on the wall in our bedroom right now, but it was in the kitchen for a good long time. I was afraid it would get hit and broken in the kitchen, though!
Now I just have to figure out how to sneak it out without you catching me! ;-)
