I bought 7 really nice soup bowls at a consignment shop (for myself) a few months ago. I like them so much that I'd like to fill out the supply with 3 more.
Here is what the back says:
PTS International
Interiors
Genuine Stoneware
Nature
I suspect that either Interiors or Nature is the pattern name - hard to tell.
I've searched on Google and found a few PTS sites but not their own home page. Does anyone know what PTS stands for? Or where I could contact the company directly? Thanks.

Thanks, everyone. I called PTSango, and, alas, the pattern was discontinued 7 years ago. So I guess I'll just have to hope I get lucky somewhere. It was worth a try, and a long-distance call, too!

Don't get your hopes up - but I have a set of Sango china - I don't beleive it says "PT Sango" - just "Sango" - and the pattern name "Nature" doesn't sound familiar to me.
I bought it about 2 years ago, and have never unpacked it. The pieces I have looked at are really pretty though.
I'll look at it after while and see what it says - but I think the only thing in common is the Sango name.

The pattern is Nature by Interiors, (PST)
It is listed in Replacements Ltd pricing guide, so they do have it or at least some of it in stock. Give them a call at 1-800-737-5223. I have been selling china to them for 7yrs. One of the nice things they have done for suppliers is give us a cross index reference book of about 60,000 patterns. I looked under Interiors, no dice, looked under Nature & bingo!

Again, thanks for the leads! I appreciate your help and am looking into Replacements (I'd gone there once and saw nothing, but I'll call them at the 800 number.
Gc2: The soup bowls I have (about 9" across) are a creamy-white background, and on the left and right sides are green leaves, with a flower at one side and a piece of orange fruit on the other. Does this sound anything like what you have?

Here's an up-to-date report: I called Replacements, as suggested above, about two hours ago, was treated very nicely, and was told they have 3 bowls in my pattern, $3.95 each, and 1 at $2.95 for some scratches in the decoration. I was sooooo happy and I took all four. (The scratched one can be my backup in case of breakage, sort of like Dave Barry's little backup dog, Ernie.)
