Antique dishes found in president's office suite - what's the story? As the president's office staff was cleaning out their closet before remodeling, five pieces of old china were found and we think they have a story. This is what is found on the back: The Marquis, Windsor Ware, John Bros, England, Reg US Pat Off. This pattern was available from 1941 to 1965 and has been discontinued. There are four dessert/salad plates and one dinner plate in my office if anyone wants to take a look in 309 Twamley Hall. -- Dawn Botsford, Events Coordinator, Office of Ceremonies and Special Events, dawnbotsford@mail.und.nodak.edu, 777-6393
