Taylor, Smith & Taylor (TS&T) Taylorstone Cathay Atomic Starburst pattern circa 1964, seen at yesterday’s North Star Auction preview. Not as crazy expensive as Pyrex’s Atomic Starburst, but still a neat pattern.

1987 A Moment of Laughter in a Dining Setting

The image captures two individuals seated at a dining table, engaged in what appears to be an enjoyable conversation.
One person is leaning forward with hands clasped together near their face, while the other leans back slightly with one hand on the table and glasses raised as if reacting to something amusing.

I've been looking for more plates and such from this series of dinner ware, or at least a name for its series / manufacturer.
So far I've several of the square plates, a couple of the square 'bowls', and cups, and @Siiw recently found one of the rectangular serving plates for herself, but I'm curious if there's still others with this pattern.
I can't find any name or recognisable marking anywhere on them, and image recognition isn't very useful either. I found a couple more listings on FINN through it (though most already gone, or more than I think it's worth, and none nearby anyway), but none of them mention a name either.
I suspect it's from the late 90s, at least here in #Norway, though it might be older than that.

Found a set of Yamazaki Gone Fishin’ flatware the other day at a thrift that is currently transforming itself into a boutique. If I buy another two soup spoons online, I’ll have enough for ten settings. Crazy looking stuff, but that knife is a pleasure to hold. Maybe octopus and fish will be on the menu for first meal.

Made in Japan.
