Help identifying pattern

This is a 80+ piece set with plates, platters, bowls, etc. No marking on the bottom. The border of blue and copperish color is hand painted, I believe and the bucolic scene in the middle is not. The coffee/chocolate cup has a strawberry like figure on the top of the lid and the soup tureen has more of a pineapple look on the handle on top. Handles look like twisted vines. The gal who owns this thinks it came from a private boys boarding school in New York, maybe Long Island that has long been closed. When you hold sacuer up to light, you can see through parts of the saucer, so I thought that mieant porcelain. Not in the best shape. So could have been associated somehow with a school. Any help at all is much appreciated.

Re: Help identifying pattern

 

This looks like very early English porcelain circa 1820 or so. I suggest you post this message on the Pottery Glass & Porcelain board and add more pictures if you have them, the bottom in particular.
