What companies can you find that have fine china pattens depicting

Greetings, rexann!

The good news is that I have found several patterns which I believe
are exactly what you are seeking.

I am guessing that you are looking for scenery patterns with lifelike
coloring. If you are open to patterns that are all one color, such as
gray, blue, pink, green, brown, or black, there are quite a few
patterns available, and not all of them have been discontinued. If you
are interested in the monochrome scenery patterns, instead of rating
my Answer, please post a Request for Clarification, and I will post
links to those.

The not-so-good news is that the lifelike multicolored patterns I have
found have all been discontinued. However, many pieces in these
patterns can be found at on-line china stores, and I believe that you
might be able to build nearly a full set in a short period of time.

floats my boat too!  Yup, lets see those monochrome sets.  The hubby
thinks monochrome is a good thing.  WOW, you're good!

My apologies for the delay, rexann. A family thing came up. I am
hoping to get the information on the monochromatic patterns posted for
you today or tomorrow.

Thanks for your patience,

Hi, rexann!

With further searching, although I have found some active scenery
patterns, I have not found any with snow (that aren't brightly-colored
contemporary winter scenes) yet, but I am going to continue looking.
In the meantime, perhaps you and your fiance could go through all the
patterns listed below, as well as the ones I listed previously, and
pick out 3 or 4 that you like the best. Then I can see what sort of
availability there is for those patterns, to determine whether we
would be able to build you a full set.

For a first go, I recommend you just click on all the plate close-ups,
making note of the ones that really strike your fancy, then go back
and try to narrow down your choices. Once you have done that, post
your choices in a Request for Clarification, and I will take a look
for you.

I will let you know if I am able to find any active winter scenery
china patterns. In the meantime, if you have a question, post a
Request for Clarification, and the system will notify me that you have
done so.

Hi Rexann~

After a pretty extensive search, the only set of dinnerware I was able
to come up with that matches your description and is not discontinued
was the following:

"Cabin in the Snow"
http://www.gevalia.com/gevalia/catalog/product_detail.jsp?PROD_ID=3227&catid=1714&ITEM_ADDED=false

Perhaps you'll like it!

That was very cool!  I love how you came up with my cabin in the snow.
 Unfortunately, this is not the fine china my mother n law has in mind
to buy me!  The closest I have been able to find is some pastoral
scenes in Villeroy and Bach with yellow and black as the primary
colors.  Do you remember the Currier and Ives prints of the seasons? 
I guess I just want something different in china for special
occassions but yet still evoke warm thoughts.  I plan on retiring in
Montana if that tells you anything!  Thanks for your help!
