Re: Blue Willow inherited from my grandmother
Hi Alicia, thanks for your message. It sounds like most of what you have is more common willow and probably not worth a lot to collectors. I’d enjoy using it! Reference book prices are outdated. The best current value is to search for “sold” items on eBay, not current listings of what people are asking. You can search for Japan willow, EIT (English Ironstone Tableware), etc. Churchill was willow available in supermarkets and is pretty common. Yes, the Occupied Japan pieces were during the US occupation years, but today these occupied pieces aren’t really worth more or less than non occupied pieces. Without marks I am not sure what you have. Many pieces were not marked. They could be American made in the 60 and 70s. I think some eBay searching is a good first step. I hope this helps some!
