Hi Kathi, the Johnson Brothers patterns are usually very popular - no-matter the pattern. You are very fortunate to have these beautiful pieces handed down through your family. This tells me your entire family must have valued the pieces you have. This pattern was made about 1891. I feel sure there are several members of this club that know volumns about this pattern. We have many members who collect Johnson Bros. patterns. Please consider joining this club as you can network with other members, advertise in the club newspaper or attend our Regional & annual National Convention to search for more pieces of Eclipse. As you collect, be careful, there are at least 3 other potters who produced wares with a pattern they called Eclipse. As a member, you will also receive a membership book where most members list what they collect and what they are looking for. This is also a great help in finding pieces you seek or wish to sell. For $39.00 per year, membership is a bargain. Several patterns are now being reproduced, we do our best to publish articles/pictures showing members these new releases. Again, you are very fortunate, enjoy your lovely pieces - sounds like they have a good home. Jerry
