Hi Michelle: your Rhoda pitcher was made approx. 1891 by William Adams and Sons. The pattern is featured in Petra Williams book Volume #3. The pattern is a wreath of flowers, sprigs, and scrolls and on the plates, it is embossed on the edge and into the well of the plate. It is a very pretty pattern. Hope this helps.
