Hello again, I have not come a cross any flow blue for sale in a long time so it is funny I find multiple items in one day. The cheese dome shown below does not have a mark. Is it flow blue?

Hi Debbie, This is a reproduction piece. It was made to imitate old flow blue. The pattern at the top is random, not really a pattern at all, the blue is sprayed on along the sides and even though the picture doesn't show the bottom of the base , I am betting the foot ring is rough, not glazed over, all signs pointing to basically a fake. Check out the FBICC web page, there is a section on reproductions, fakes etc. ,click on the resource tab and go down New Flow Blue, put your cursor on that sub tab and a box will come up called Is It new or Old flow Blue. Click on that and the article and info will come up.

Once again Kim, thank you! I am going to go look at the piece once more, but I do recall the foot ring not having any glazing at all. The store owner had mentioned that he was not sure about the piece and since I have not seen one before I wanted to confirm. I read the article you mentioned and it explained things to look for that I had not considered. Great article.
