Obtained in North Carolina, USA. I believe this set was made in Germany. If this is not sufficient photos, I will repost later today. Any idea if this is something that could have some worth? I have 10 teacups, 10 desert plates and 10 tea plates. I was gifted these from a house I renovated.

Probably the most vibrant jasper I’ve ever found from Western Oregon, then a nice piece of pet wood

Rocks from the Molalla River, cut a piece of petrified wood we found there. The thicker you cut it, the deeper red it gets. Last pic is the thin piece under a microscope
