If you have received a new Pfaltzgraff pattern from a friend or inherited an old one from a relative, you may not know the official name of the pattern--especially if the dinnerware did not come in its original packaging. You can identify your mystery pattern with a little research. The key is to know the resources available to you.

Personal Interviews

Try to find information on the history of the dinnerware before you begin your search. Is your dinnerware a family heirloom? Perhaps you can trace the year to your mother's wedding year. Is your china a new addition, purchased within the last 10 years? What do relatives and friends know about when and where the dinnerware was purchased? A little background information will go a long way in getting you on the right track to finding the name of your pattern.
