Hi Lisa, I am not at home just now to look at our reference books but I recall there are a couple of potters who made wares with the pattern name of Virginia. Could you look at the backstamp and see if you can read the potters or makers name? A great way to fine pieces of a specific pattern is through the members of this club. Not all members visit this site but all receive our club newspaper and many attend out regional and national convention. Networking through club members is a great way to find pieces one is looking for. There are probably several members within the club who collect the same pattern you do and most all are helpful in helping each other find the pieces they need or want. The $39.00 per year membership to belong to this organization is a good buy - it opens many doors for a collector of Flow Blue, mulberry and polychrome. The club also educates collectors on new flow blue patterns that are being made today to look old. It is a great experience to gather together with over 200 fellow club members at a national convention. Next years convention will be in July at Louisville KY. I do enjoy the thrill of the hunt as do many other collectors. Please do consider joining the club and attending some or all of the activities. You will find that club members are passionate about collecting, helful to others and most willing to share information with others. Take care and good luck with your search. Jerry
