I look forward to hearing your reply.
Answer Hello Patricia. I am sorry for the delay in getting back with you.
You're going to need to look up which Wild Rose pattern you have, as two were made by Wm. A. Rogers. They're easily accessible online through places such as eBay or replacements.com.
One Wild Rose pattern came out in 1904 and the other came out in 1939. I don't have information on when either pattern was discontinued.
