for $25. each dish,they are a great buy.they were in the family a long time,,but not used,,we displayed them on the buffet..they are very rich looking..if you intend to use them ,,they hold veggies,potatoes,beef chips,,etc.on the bottom dish there are 3 oval loops with the letters U S C in the oval loops,,also there is a star on each side of these loops..i didn/t polish the dishes lately,,they polish up beautifully..
