We have recently discovered a set of Futura Tampico dinnerware at my mother's home. We knew of Red Wing and that it was collectible but that's about it. Today we were able to identify the pattern name and have found some pricing on certain pieces but are interested in finding out the approximate value of what we have: 6 dinner plates, 8 bread & butter plates, 8 cups and saucers, 8- 5" fruit bowls, 1 13" platter, 1- 9" serving bowl, 1- divided vegtable bowl, 1 creamer, 1 sugar with lid. We also have the salt and pepper shakers but there is a "lip" or decorative point on them that has broken off. Are unbroken shakers commonly found? and what is their value? We would like to complete this set for our 92 year old grandmother who purchased the set when it was first introduced.
