Identifying Limoges Porcelain Pattern

I have inherited a set of Limoges Porcelain and am trying to identify
the pattern. The set is mostly complete, with 12 place settings, but
some of the cups and saucers have not survived the years. It is marked
"Limoges France, WG & Co." and also "Wm Guerin & Co. Limoges France".
It has a rose garland that goes around the border, with a gold border.
Any ideas on who I can contact to identify this pattern? My goal is to
try to find some cups and saucers, if possible.

Replacements Limited's website is handy for IDing things. Justy
click here:
and keep clicking "next" until you see your pattern. They are an
excellent source when you need 1-2 pieces quickly (although a bit
pricey).

Thanks for the reply. I just went thru all of them and didn't see it.
This set belonged to my Dad's great aunt. Probably dates back to
1900-1910. Thanks anyway.

You can go back to their main site, and look through all the Limoges
china listings. Yours may be listed under the more general
category, since the secondary stamp seems, well, secondary.
You may find a match by another manufacturer, as the small
companies came and went through the years in the Limoges area.

Put a piece on the photocopier, top and bottom, and send that to them -
you can fax it - they are very swift with identifications from
pictures. And it's free.
