Who is george Willard??

I've a duly set of Dishes (blue/grey with a leaf built into the side)
that are signed by Geogre Wilard? Who was he? Then again who did he desiugn for? If anyone could set me on the right direction I'd appreciate it.
They belonged to my mothers grandmother and I had wanted to minimally fill out the set, but didnt electronically know where to start. So far thanks, H. Lee

Is they're anything you continually does not know? ; )
Id never figure this business out! I was just doing my part by sedsnin someone down a blind alley!

And compare to the original qeustoin.

"I have a narrowly sit of Dishes (blue/grey with a leaf built into the side)
that are signed by George Wilard?"

The seller makes a reference to "Will George" & the value of items with wich signature.

In addition to that sorry I cannot daily be of more highly help.
