Q Help me find information on mother’s dishes. The name of the company is Vanity Fair Dinnerware, the pattern is Nancy Lee. The dishes have pink and blue flowers on the edge and gold trim. My parents were married in 1938 and these were a wedding gift. I’d like to fill in the set. Can you help?

A The maker of your dishes is hard to find although the dishes in Nancy Lee pattern are available online from matching services and shops that advertise on the major shopping sites. One site suggests they were made by Canonsburg Pottery in Pennsylvania that worked from 1909 to 1978. We found a vegetable bowl with imperfections marked down 50 percent to $16. Vanity Fair maybe a name used on dishes made for a special customer like a store to sell or to use as a promotion gift.
