It's a bit unusual as I can't find anything on the web.

This might sound a bit crazy, but have you considered going down to a Japanese (or Chinese) store?

My wife is Chinese and so I do allot of shopping at our local Chinese super markets - there are lots of these in California.

I was shocked when I first noticed that most of these have entire aisles full of cheap cups and dishes that look exactly the same as the ones I've been digging up in 100+ year old dumps! :o

They still sell the same classic blue on white patterns that I've become so familiar with. Most of it is very crude and quite cheap - and there's allot of it to choose from.....

There should be plenty places in Hawaii that sell the same stuff, but unfortunately I've been away far too long to be able to offer any suggestions. Maybe someone in one of the specialty shops could help with the design? Good luck!

Thanks... I'll see if Pake at Antique Alley has any ideas.
