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...

Hey karenletlas have you tried ebay they have some antiques--hope you. Find what you are looking for

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

Sadly I don't know of any surviving pieces. I remember bright solid colours, yellow, green, orangy/red and blue I think. They were fairly plain, no ridges etc.

I will definitely be yardsaling this summer and will check out second hand and antique stores in my area once we are no longer snowed in!

could the dishes be Riviera Pottery? or Hall, Franciscans, I jet searched dishes from the 1940's click on images there are a lot that would fit your description.

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.

A facebook site called Dust Old Thing may be able to help. They deal in antiques.
