this pattern is kinda precious. My grandma's name was Marguerite.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This [link] is ALMOST close enough. The tea cups were a more delicate shape and there were proper saucers for them as well as the sandwich plates. I think there might have been smaller bowls included, too. Also, the dishes were perfectly round. I think a slightly irregular shape is a deal-breaker, though.
Sigh.
Calamityware it is, then.
We got all our dishes through the power of msbelle-on-eBay.
And they still get compliments any time I post a food picture on FB.
Msbelle, that looks a lot like my grandmother's china, that my sister has. And my grandmother's name was also Marguerite.
There is a large set of Limoges with hand-painted pink rosebuds and gold rims that used to be my great-grandmother's. It could be mine, but I don't want it. Too fussy for me. It's my mom's for now.
DH and I are happy with our Fiestaware.

Same! Except I have my grandmother's, and she went by Margot, but was actually named Marguerite.
Grandma Margurites for the win.
Other grandmother was Marjorie, she had a sister Marg who I think was actually a Margaret and the mom was Marjorie who had sisters: Marguerite, Maude, Minnie, and Mae.
My great aunt was Marguerite, but she went by Day. (Marguerite>Daisy>Day).
Her sister, my Nana, was the very Buffistaesque Grace Matilda.
I always wanted to name a child Daisy after my grandmother! But she would have thought that was ridiculous, because her name really was Margot.
I have china from when we got married link. But I really would like some new everyday dishes.
sj, we have the same china! My everyday dishes are these: [link] I have everything except the mugs. Setting for 12, and I've used them all at least twice (and not because I was too lazy to wash the dishes).
