Starucca Pattern and Starucca – Reversed Color Pattern
Always check the backstamp on these patterns. They have been reproduced at least twice. The first was reportedly for a restaurant. These bear a Mayer backstamp, which would never be authentic for this pattern. The more recent version was made for a preservation club, these are backstamped "ELDCPS" and its date for easy recognition - so long as you check. The later reproduced items include 9 3/4" and 8 3/8" plates, Coffee cups and demitasse cups, saucers for both, a 5 1/4" oval bowl, and a butter pat. While such pieces might be nice to dine on, they have no collector's value.
