Re: Vintage Vogue Dinnerware platter 22k Gold warrented ...
These pieces are known generally as "courting couple" pieces.

The pieces were made by many manufacturers under tradenames under this broad category. Flutes, fans, and other items in the decal are often used to identify imported wares.
I actually have this specific decal and manufacturer but just a few of these pieces. To the right buyer I could see $25.00 to $40.00 US for the platter.
Re: Vintage Vogue Dinnerware platter 22k Gold warrented ...
When pieces of Washington Colonial, 'Couples' pattern have a dark stamp under the Vogue Dinnerware 22k warranted which is stamped on top of it, that says Semi-vitreous, Edwin M Knowles, made in USA on some pieces, but not all.  In an 8 pc place setting, does this mean that some of the pieces could be imports? The only difference in the piece itself, that Dee 1961 submitted,  is the type border, mine has the full wide 22k border, not just the edge of the platter, cups, bowls, or plates. However, not all pieces have the Vogue stamp either, such as the teacups and saucers. All do have the same wide 22k border and pattern on the border.          Â
