I am now downsizing and will not be able to keep them. Trying to set a price but don't have a clue about how much they are worth.

My mother-in-law gave them to me years ago. I think she bought them in a store, since closed, in Monroe, LA. I don't use them very much, as I have another set I use most.

H....I'm a native New Orleanian who remembers D. H. Holmes well. D.H. Holmes was a department store which opened in 1842 on Canal St. in New Orleans. It did have a restaurant in it which was a popular spot for lunch, but Holmes's (pronounced "Holmses", as we locals still say, as in "going shopping at Holmes's")was primarily a department store. The clock was right outside the doors of the store (and is still there, outside the current hotel), and it was a popular meeting place. For some reason, New Orleanians like meeting under clocks...we also used to meet under the ornate clocks outside Whitney Bank branches. Your dinnerware is fabulous! It was probably part of a set sold in the department store, rather than dishes actually used in the restaurant. I've never seen them before, but you've inspired me to start looking for them.

My understanding is the clock was at Holmes Department Store in New Orleans but perhaps there was a restaurant in the store. Felt the need to add to the story of your find.
