MARY ENGELBREIT TEA SETS
This checklist only covers the embossed or "dimensional"
lines, not the decal lines, of the Mary Engelbreit
ceramic ware manufactured in China for Michel and Co. of Culver City, California.
If you are hoping for a complete checklist, i am sorry to
disappoint you. This is only a list of what i have
personally seen on the web or in stores and thus know to be
available. There are undoubtedly many other items in each
line, and i would appreciate corrections and contributions.
I would also appreciate
pointers to a complete list, if one exists!
Because this page is being maintained as a personal checklist
of my Mary Engelbreit trove, i
have marked the lines from which
i have samples and the pieces in my collection in
bold type. I have also noted the copyright dates
stamped on the bottoms of the items i have.
To friends and family who have asked -- if it's listed
here and is not in bold type,
i would be very glad to have it, indeed.
