My aunt was given my grandmothers good dishes when she passed in 1993. They were carefully wrapped in newspaper, put in several boxes, and stored in a dark dry environment. We discovered them while cleaning this summer and I have been tasked with finding a new home for them. The dishes are not all flow blue, but are all blue and white. I have done some research and I think I have identified six flow blue patterns. Descriptions and photos below. I know they are not as valuable as they were in 1993, but there are some very nice pieces.
I also have pieces marked: Bristol - Crown Ducal England; Watteau - Doulton Burslem, England; Homer Laughlin, USA; Wedgwood, England, and more. If you are looking for something that is white and blue, let me know - I still have boxes to go through!

I have some things that I am not sure about. Two bowls (9) that say ASTORIA semi-porcelain, New Wharf Pottery, England. A gravy boat (8.5 long) that says LOUISE semi-porcelain, New Wharf Pottery, England. And 1 b+b plate that says TOURAINE Henry Alcock, England, and a saucer that says TOURAINE Stanley Pottery Co., England. The patterns are similar but not identical. Any information is appreciated.

Hello! I know it's been several years since you posted your flow blue China for sale. But I'm hoping that you might have a piece that I'm desperately looking for. My mother passed away unexpectedly last year. She was an interior designer and painter. She had a Booths flow blue Princess pattern dinner plate hung on the wall at our lake house. My sister accidentally knocked it down and broke it yesterday. She is completely distraught over this. I told her I could find another one. The number on the plate is 183173 2. If this site will let me upload a picture, I have one of those as well. Please let me know if you have this plate or are able to help me find it. It would mean the world to me and my sister. Thank you so very much! My email is shellbug78@yahoo.com
