and was wondering about the value of it. It is new in the box, is at least 30-40 years old. It is amber colored glass. I looked on e-bay and saw nothing comparable to it.
Answer
UCAGCO actually means United China and Glass Company.
Its offices were based in New Orleans and New York.
UCAGCO was primarily a distributor of dinnerware and glassware. They were the distributor of many Japanese china patterns beginning in the 1930s .
I was only able to find one example of a UCAGCO Porcelain Punchbowl and 5 cups for sale, and the asking price was $44US.
On the other hand, my search revealed single cup-and-saucers for as much as $45US.
You didn't mention if it was clay or glass, and that can make a huge difference in the value!
An appraisal might be worthwhile!
Best wishes!

Dating China Set?

I have a set of heirloom china that I'm trying to date. It was an anniversary gift to my late grandmother, and my mother is pretty sure it's well over 100 years old (according to the stories my grandmother told her, that's a fair estimate). The pieces have a pattern of blue, pink, and yellow flowers intermixed with goldish-brown-colored (but NOT metallic) scrolls, and the edges of the pieces are painted with gold metallic rims. The china's color is slightly off-white, and there is a green-colored logo (manufacturing mark?) on the back/bottom of each piece. It looks a lot like the back of an old wheat-head penny, with the words "TAYLOR SMITH TAYLOR U.S.A." written one beneath the other inside the wheat-heads. "SMITH" is larger than the rest of the writing, but it's all in capitals. Beneath that is the number "2 42 1." I have a scan of one of the sandwich plates, and while it's not fantastic, it does show the pattern. I can email it to anyone who thinks they can place it.
We found it! It's circa 1945 (apparently my grandmother had it mixed up with another set). Thanks for all your help!

Perhaps you can find it in one of these books from Amazon or Ohio River Pottery. Check also on e bay, they have several listings for TST USA. This is not as direct an answer as you may have needed, but maybe it will help you. Also check at your public library. When I have needed to price some antiques we had, the library had quite a good selection. The robbinsnest.com/American Dinnerware site for replacement pieces looks particularly helpful.
