OK..you great googlers, I need help. My dh gave me some servings bowls for my birthday and said I could get the plates, ect. I went back to the store the next day (Foleys) and they were out of stock. I have looked online and can not find this particular pattern (even at the store he bought them from!)..it's driving me crazy! LOL Tabletops Unlimited Madrid Hand Painted Collection, TU 06411

Texannie, my mother had very good luck with this company but, as Juju suggests, they do request a picture of the markings on the bottom. Hope you get what you need! Current China Replacements

This is just casual dinnerware so as far as markings, it's the info I gave. I have the box, same info but no company address.

Omigosh, I've exhausted my limited knowledge of searching...have found my own dishes many times, but your dishes, Texannie, are mighty elusive. Hope someone can do a better job than I. Good luck!

annie, by "out of stock" does that mean they won't carry them anymore? or does it mean that it is "discontinued"? can you take pictures of the bowls? and a picture of the box? would help in a search. "tabletops unlimited" is the company name. like mikasa or wallace. i have found hundreds of their different patterns, but haven't found "madrid" yet.

I need to call the store and find out if it was out or discontinued. I found tons of TU patterns too but no Madrid, found the solid that mixes with this pattern but not the pattern. Isn't that odd. This isn't expensive stuff at all, but now the mystery is making me crazy! LOL

Yeah, I wanted to ask you if "Havana" or "Barcelona" was close enough...

You could try calling around to other Foley's? My hubby used to work part-time there during Christmas,and they were always helping people find stuff.

I did a search of Foleys and it was a bust...but maybe individual stores may still have it. Looks like you're in for more fun, Annie!

This is starting to get comical! Got this email today Thank you for contacting Replacements, Ltd., home of the world's largest inventory of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. We carry several patterns by Tabletops Unlimited; however, we currently do not have a record of the pattern "Madrid" on our system.

Is it a new and limited pattern, Texannie? I mean why all the difficulty?

I have no clue, Vee. I am going to go to Foley's this week and talk to someone. I can't even find a corporate listing for the company to try them direct.
