Vintage 1950's
Vintage Blue Ridge Pottery-Dinner Plates- Set of 6 with Hobnail Edge- "Carnival Pattern"-Made USA. (We are sending along 1 additional plate no charge)
What history on these historic plates. Blue Ridge dishware was rooted in a pottery established town of Erwin, Tennessee around 1916 at the behest of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railroad and chartered as Southern Potteries Incorporated in 1920. During the late 1920s, under the guidance of Charles Foreman, Southern Potteries implemented its underglaze decoration technique.
Although Southern Potteries eventually employed over 1,000 workers and had gained a foothold in major markets across the United States, the company was unable to overcome the onset of plastic dinnerware in the 1950s. The rise of various collectors' organizations in the 1980s helped make Blue Ridge a popular collectible item.
These Dinner Plates are in pristine condition and purchased from a women in her late 90's. Apparently she never used them! The Colors are still vibrant and the glaze is still in tact. The Dinner Plates are 9 3/8" in Diameter.
