I’m the daughter of a former Flow Blue International Collectors Club member and Convention attendee. Learning about and collecting Flow Blue brought my mother much joy, as did connecting with the Flow Blue ‘family’ of fellow appreciators. She died in 2018 and my siblings and I were happy to inherit some sets and pieces (Cyprus, Washington Vase), continuing the tradition. However, she was a true ‘collector’ and as I finally get to the last boxes of her estate, I find still more pieces. My mother was also a great record keeper, so I have a lot of receipts, emails re: when she bought it, how much paid, etc.
My goal is to do well by my mother by finding a good home for these pieces. I’ve been researching EBay, Facebook, local auction houses (I’m outside D.C.), Etsy, etc. I am hoping to avoid setting up my own digital presence to sell items, piece by piece, and would love to sell it as a ‘group’ I know that may be naive, but I am not looking to make a lot of money; rather, to find someone who knows the value and appreciates the beauty of Flow Blue - to keep or who is more equipped than I to thoughtfully sell for their ‘next life.’
I’ve shared some photos (grouping items on tables, but can photograph/measure individually, if needed). I also attached a photo of some of my ‘extra’ tureens and pitchers from the Mulberry Cypress set she gave me that I am also interested in selling - there are only so many one can use!
Thank you for your insights and interest ~ Olivia
