American Limoges Triumph Dinner Plate/Hiawatha Pattern

American Limoges Triumph Dinner Plate/Hiawatha Pattern

Coincidentally a pair of these dinner plates turned up in my travels as this website conducts its Schreckengost exhibit.  This pattern is amazing in its subtle beauty.  So far, I have not been able to find any concrete information about it.  Has anyone encountered this pattern before?  Would I stand any hope of finding more pieces?  Would it be safe to assume that Viktor Schreckengost designed the decal pattern or just the Triumph line itself?

I love the mysteries that collecting continues to send my way (as well as having this great forum to share finds with equally enthusiastic collectors)!

My grandmother had a quite a few place settings of these exact Hiawatha dishes!   This is the first mention I have seen in multiple searches for just this pattern.  Some of it may be for sale.

Finally found my Viktor dinnerware book. The Hiawatha pattern is indeed attributed to him.
