This pattern looks real familiar to me but I can't put a finger on it.
The pieces are unmarked, seemed to be hand painted because I have several of the same of the small plates and the pattern varies a little on each plate.
The dish in the back ground is a veggy bowl.
The greens are forrest & lime green.
Anyone care to share what you may know about these?

Packer, the snall plate or saucer in front was made by Stetson, and I believe it was called "Dogwood". Some of the larger pieces have the Stetson mark. Most of the small pieces just have 'USA' impressed, or nothing at all. It was some sort of promotional item some years ago - grocery store, I think, but may have been gas station, etc. Been awhile since I researched it.
But I'm surprised at the bowl...I've never seen a piece like this with the Dogwood. Maybe someone just put them together because of the dark green trim?
I know the flower is yellow....is the lime green on the bowl?
I'll sit down now so everyone can tell you it's Blue Ridge. (It isn't.)
Ed. to add: I suppose the bowl could be Blue Ridge....or Stetson...or something else...I'm just not familiar with it.
This is great, I thought I'd never find out what they were.
Its really hard to list something without at least knowing what to call it.
I did a search on both the Stetson and Blue Ridge. I found them in both in those categories.
The bowl with the gooseberries, the paint colors, and style are the same. So I assumed they all went together. I will probably list it seperate from the plates anyway, I also have the oval platter.
I'm going to go look some more for the bowl pattern.

I would suggest on your bowl and platter, you list them with 'Blue Ridge or Stetson' in your title. The serving pieces should go high dollar if a bidder knows for sure they are Blue Ridge, so you want them to look. (LQQK). But I guess you know all that.
One of your 3-faced dolls sold on eBay a couple of days ago. Last time I looked, it was up to 16.10. Haven't checked to see what it ended at.
