Dating China Set?

I have a set of heirloom china that I'm trying to date. It was an anniversary gift to my late grandmother, and my mother is pretty sure it's well over 100 years old (according to the stories my grandmother told her, that's a fair estimate). The pieces have a pattern of blue, pink, and yellow flowers intermixed with goldish-brown-colored (but NOT metallic) scrolls, and the edges of the pieces are painted with gold metallic rims. The china's color is slightly off-white, and there is a green-colored logo (manufacturing mark?) on the back/bottom of each piece. It looks a lot like the back of an old wheat-head penny, with the words "TAYLOR SMITH TAYLOR U.S.A." written one beneath the other inside the wheat-heads. "SMITH" is larger than the rest of the writing, but it's all in capitals. Beneath that is the number "2 42 1." I have a scan of one of the sandwich plates, and while it's not fantastic, it does show the pattern. I can email it to anyone who thinks they can place it.

Perhaps you can find it in one of these books from Amazon or Ohio River Pottery. Check also on e bay, they have several listings for TST USA. This is not as direct an answer as you may have needed, but maybe it will help you. Also check at your public library. When I have needed to price some antiques we had, the library had quite a good selection. The robbinsnest.com/American Dinnerware site for replacement pieces looks particularly helpful.
