STALKER GIRL *will* have her trinkets...
OMGOMGOMG I TOTALLY FOUND IT...! I'm 99.9% sure the Wander/Big Valley china is Salem China, Princess Anne (pattern!) The Replacements.com pictures don't include some of the completer pieces that would totally clinch this, but from what's there, I'm totally sure:
Here are some pieces I found on eBay where the teacups look even more exact:
Teacup:
Dinner Plate:
Bread Plate:
Bowls:
I never took screen caps of the set on Big Valley, but caps from WWW are back on this post.
Replacements.com notes this pattern was discontinued in 1953, which is quite a gap from when the shows filmed, but doesn't *totally* contradict - Who knows when the studio actually purchased these, or from where... They may have been bought from a discount clearance place, or maybe even an antique shop...? Or sat around in the studio's storage warehouse for years before being used...?
I'm so excited!!! But, a little sad... I think I must have spent *hundreds* of hours searching for this over the past year... Really. The end of a fairly time consuming hobby. :-)
