Dutch Excelsior pattern

Posted by Cheryl on May 20, 2021, 2:23 pm

Contrary to what I had read, I have just been told that my Dutch Petrus Regout & Co., Maastricht plate, pattern Excelsior, is not flow blue. Can someone clarify? Thank you.

It is flow blue and is in the database as well. There are some similar transferware designs that are not flow blue.

Who told you Excelsior was not flow blue?

Thank you so much for the confirmation. I’m very new at Flow Blue identification, but I thought my Excelsior fit the description. I had posted the picture on a FB dish site, and the person who contradicted the ID also said most Flow Blue was an American product. I knew that part was incorrect from reading the history. Does your database have much history on Excelsior or is it mainly for Petrus Maastricht?

The pattern database contains photos, known maker info, references, photo credits and pattern description for any entry. You might find history on the potter at thepotteries.org.

We also have an (unoffocial) Facebook group called Flow Blue & Mulberry Followers with nearly 1000 members. Please join us there and see what our members can tell you.

The same pattern was made by W H Grindley called Beaufort
