This pattern is called Nut Tree.
Holy smokes!! Just bought several pieces of this GORGEOUS dinnerware only to now have to toss it! This pattern is named ‘Nut Tree’ and is so pretty, it really sucks to have to throw these out.
How exactly do you test? Do you do it yourself? I just stumbled across your website from a Google search and appreciate greatly the info!
Wow!! Just read your bio and additionally the information on how you test. YOU GO GIRL! Thank you for your diligence, concern and fighting spirit, you’re making a difference! Had I not come here I would be eating off of these dishes! I was going to make dinner for an elderly couple next weekend….so glad I found your site!!
We inherited these dishes 33 years ago and have raised our three kids eating on them. Just found this website and information. I have so many questions…
But thank you for giving us this information!!!!
