For hotel china,  I go to RESTAURANT CHINA by  Barbara J. Conroy,  a set of 
two volumes.  Collector Books, 1999.  There is also  COLLECTOR'S 
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN DINNER WARE by Jo Cuningham,   Collector Books,  1982.     
And, TURN OF THE CENTURY  AMERICAN DINNERWARE, 1880s TO 1920s, by Joanne 
Jasper, Collector Books,  1996.  But not much to help you on hand-painted wares.
 
There are also some hand-painted products in SOUTHERN POTTERIES INC. BLUE  
RIDGE DINNERWARE, by Betty and Bill Newbound, also Collector Books, 1980.   
And a few in THE WARNER COLLECTOR'S GUIDE TO NORTH AMERICAN POTTERY AND  
PORCELAIN, by Ellen and Bert Denker,  Main Street Press, 1982.
 
Hope this might help a little bit -
 
Best to you,
Roberta
