It's a rare home that doesn't contain at least a few assortments of dishes, such as mismatched cups or saucers. The photo above shows a saucer that has been around our home for longer than I remember, and where I got it is also a mystery. After running an Internet search, I found some information. I still couldn't find an exact match to this saucer. But I learned a lot about an American manufacturer, and will keep looking for more TS&T dishes.

"Taylor, Smith & Taylor Company (TS&T) was in operation from 1900 until 1981 in Chester, West Virginia."

On Etsy, one seller shows a very similar flower pattern, but larger for an oval serving platter, with an approximate date of 1916.
"DISCONTINUED 1916 Oval PLATTER by Taylor Smith Taylor pink & yellow ROSES."

There is a very similar one on ebay, labeled "Empire Floral Garden."

Another site, My Granny's Attic, also offers a similar pattern.
