Tea service (plated)

I picked up this tea service that has 3 marks on the bottom. I'm using the cream pattern number for this.

They are a dragon, lion, (I say dragon because it reminds me of Godzilla) could be a wolf for all I know, facing right. the letter C or a cresent moon, an a bird that could be a swan head, eagle head or phoenix head and the pattern number 3152.

I'd love to enclose a picture of this as soon as I can figure out how to focus a digital camera.

I've looked everywhere I could online with no luck. I hope someone can figure something out from the somewhat muddled imagery I have described.

Sounds like a mark used by the Crescent Silverware Manufacturing Corporation, Port Jervis, New York. Founded in 1922 in New York City. Moved to Port Jervis in 1939. Took over the Knickerbocker Silver Company in 1962. Sold to Samuel Kirk & Son in 1977.
I believe they only produced silverplated holloware.

That's it almost exactly! I'd recognize Godzilla anywhere! On my pieces Godzilla only has one arm showing and is behind a sort of wall looking thing. But you have shown me the company that created it and for that I am extremely grateful.

Thank you!
