I am requesting information on the history and/or value of this pattern. It is Taylor Smith & Taylor USA, with ivory plates with gold rim, yellow and blue decoration at border and surrounding center floral design. Pink, coral and yellow flowers and greenery also around the rim and in center design (NOT roses).

Replacements.com calls your pattern TST1097 by Taylor, Smith & T (TS&T). They are out of stock right now, so you may want to contact them to see what they would offer you for them if you are trying to sell. I have sold to them before and they are great to deal with. Where you run into challenges are the cost to ship is crazy high and after shipping the final value you get is very small.
Also shipping is a total nightmare right now (if you are in the US) and I would not ship USPS--but Fed Ex or UPS with full insurance.
If you do sell to replacements, they will give you 1/8 to 1/4 of retail. That is also would you would expect to get if you sold them on your own (in most cases)
This brand doesn't go up for sale often, so when it does, the pieces seem to sell. Not sets, just pieces.
You have a few options if you are selling, set a wildly high price and take best offer--like $300 and take whatever is offered within reason.
Or, try to sell off replacement pieces on your own (best done in pairs or 4s)--like 4 places, for bowls. Some people prefer to sell off per place setting--that never worked for me.
Or have a consignment store sell it for you (best option in my mind--no muss, no fuss, no shipping).
You will get whatever value your market will bear for them.
Kids don't like china, old people like me are trying to sell off theirs.
There is a middle group who likes it, breaks it and wants to replace pieces. It takes a long time to sell, but it can be done.
Best wishes in your sale!
This site lists tons of patterns for the company and yours is not in their listing at all. It appears that the numbers at the end of the logo are listed like TST 9411 when searching for a pattern of china. This is the link to the different china patterns they have listed. www.robbinsnest.com/
Here is the website for the company. www.laurelhollowpark.net/
I have looked through their china they have listed there and also pages and pages of china from this company that people are trying to sell.
I think if nobody can actually find this china it would be a good idea to contact the company to ask them for a little help. I saw some pieces that were very close to yours but the designs on them were actually in gold and not flowers.
