Flow Blue Dishware

Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-106 -- More Projects »

This distinctive style of dishware made by various manufacturers between 1830 and 1900 gets its name from the blue color that flows over the designs, giving it a smeared effect. Authoritative dealer Jo Ann Lewis, an exhibitor at the Metrolina Expo in North Carolina, shares her collection.

The Flow Blue piece on the left is older than the piece on the right. What's the give away? Older pieces have more color and more "flow." Floral pieces are among dealer Jo Ann Lewis' best sellers.

Putting together an entire set of Flow Blue could cost thousands of dollars. This platter alone sells for $225.

Flow Blue dinner plates usually sell from $130 to $160 each.

Here is an unusual Gaudy Welsh plate. Gaudy Welsh is a style of earthenware made with red, blue, green and gold designs. Most of it was made in Britian in the early 19th century.

Sporting its original ladle, this soup tureen is priced at $550. Over the years tureens and ladles are often seperated.
