My mother has several pieces of Blue Willow which she says were brought to Canada in the late 1800s by a relative. This woman told my grandmother (who told my mother) that they had originally belonged to her grandmother. I think the first ones were made in 1790. How does one go about determining the age/authenticity? I guess an antiques valuation would have to be done but are there any things an amateur could look for to start with?
