Notes: Located in Solvang, California, Alisal Ranch and Resort occupies more than 10,000 acres in the Santa Ynez Valley northeast of Santa Barbara. It advertises itself as "California's Luxury Dude Ranch."

According to the website, it opened in 1946 as "the luxury working ranch it is today, welcoming those in search of adventure and renewal." For nearly 20 years before, the land had been used for raising cattle and thoroughbred horses, including the Kentucky Derby-winner Flying Ebony.

Charles Pete Jackson Jr. purchased the ranch and converted it to be a dude ranch, with guests including Clark Gable and Doris Day. Now, in addition to the ranch there's also an 18-hole golf course.

The china is a Western design with knotted rope border in dark brown, and an indecipherable dark brand Western brand in the center of the well.
