Welcome!  Today I'm Listing a Beautiful 77-PIECE SET OF HARMONY HOUSE "ARLINGTON" PATTERN DINNERWARE.  The Arlington pattern  was made by Hall China in the 1950's. "Granitone" was created exclusively for Sears by the noted designer J. Palin Thorley.  This china had a white fine-grained body that was light-weight and had a glass-like outer glaze that made it highly resistant to utensil marks and crazing.  This pattern is very difficult to find - one rarely sees more than a piece or two at flea markets and auctions.  I found this large set at a private estate sale in Fall Creek, Wisconsin many years ago.  The set was used occasionally on holidays but spent most of its time as a decoration in a china closet.  The pieces range in condition from very lightly used to unused.The Arlington pattern is characterized by a series of three blue parallel brushstrokes which alternately intersect a winding golden vine.  Pieces are nicely accented with gold trim.  My photos show the pattern very well. Here is a list of the pieces included:Eleven Cups (2 1/4" tall)Fourteen SaucersFourteen 10 1/4" Dinner Plates (a few of these have cut marks)Fifteen 6 1/4" Bread & Butter PlatesSixteen 5 1/4" Rimmed Fruit/Dessert BowlsFourteen 7 7/8" Rimmed Soup BowlsTwo Creamers (8 oz.)One Covered Sugar Bowl (2 7/8" tall)One 9 1/8" Oval Vegetable BowlsComments:  The set was actually a set for fourteen but it's missing three cups and has an extra B & B Plate and two extra fruit bowls.  Pieces routinely show-up on eBay so I'm confident that you will be able to purchase the three missing cups.  If you have a few pieces left over from Mother, and would like to fill it in, don't pass this up - it will probably be a long time until you see this many pieces (in this great condition) again. IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:  Order with confidence, I offer a 7-day money back guarantee (I don't refund postage & insurance).  For a complete list of my selling & return policies please click on the blue and red "ME" symbol which is located on the right side of each listing under "Meet The Seller" (just behind my user I.D. and feedback number).
