My dragonware was a wedding gift to my parents. I still have the set, including plates, cups and saucers and of coarse the tea set. It has been through 2 tornados, a flood and a hurricaine! LOL!! Only have 1 broken cup.

Mike,
Thanks for the Dragonware Tea Set write up! I just picked up a cute set at auction (just like the set pictured with the article, but only one plate, and including a flower vase). It was such a steal at the auction, and I thought it was lovely, but knew nothing about dragonware. I am so happy to have read your article to learn more. I am even happier with the set now that I have read your piece! Oh, and thanks for including the bit about lithophane- I never would have known to lift the cups up to see the ladies- bonus! :)

Nice! And finding a genuine antique plate or dinnerware to add in your collection is a tough one. I used to do research when I want to buy something–the marks, the materials used that dateline, all of those essentials. Antique plates are really marvelous as it takes you to the time when it first exists. For antique enthusiasts like me, it really is a precious to have a collection of different plates from different era. Might as well, handle these delicate pieces of art with proper care. :)
