please help identify dishes from childhood
I am trying to identify the dishes my grandparents had at their cottage in the 1960's. They were the colours of "fiestaware" and were similar, but I don't think they had the distinctive raised rings around the plates and the juice pitcher was nothing like the fiestaware shape. They were plain, other than the bright colours. The juice jug was "curvy" with the top opening similar to the "Russel Wright" jugs.
I would love to find a few pieces as they remind me of times spent with my grandparents! I have tried google and pinterest but so far haven't had any success. Any suggestions of what to try next in my search?
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen, you could try looking in antique shops for them. Also, your local library may have a book on collectibles...

I'm a firm believer in yard sales to find odd old things

Karen, Do you have any of it? I was wondering if there is an emblem or name on the bottom of it. This would help in finding out the name and locating any of it. Margaret

It sounds like it could be California Pottery, or Pacific Pottery. I love the feeling that comes from finding something from my childhood at the flea market that is now considered collectible or valuable. Good luck in your search.
