Title: Value and description ???
Post by: bethwolfe on January 08, 2019, 02:51:18 PM

I'm new to the whole antique/ vintage world so please don't blast me if I sound ignorant.
I've tried every site I can find to find the value of this serving dish. I assumed it was a piece to the other Ridgway Roxbury items I have but cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone help me ?? The mark underneath is different also. Thanks

Try searching for ……. Flo Blue covered dish, …… bowl, ….. casserole


With Google "images" or whatever


You might get lucky ;) ;)

Cogar is correct !!  Flo blue is usually different from a simple blue and white !!  Would help if we could see the mark please !!

Pottery trivia

Authentic Flo Blue pottery is kinda scarce, eagerly sought after and commands a good price (especially large platters) …… and thus the reason most everyone refers to just about any piece of “blue and white” pottery as being Flo Blue pottery.

And that is the reason I suggested, in my above post, to “Try searching for ……. Flo Blue”, even though I personally didn’t adjudge the above pictured “covered bowl” as being said. 

Now here is a picture of each “type” and its easy to recognize how the 1st one got its “name”, to wit:

This is true and actual Flo Blue pottery

This is “blue and white” pottery.

Hi and welcome bethwolfe!  Can you please post the dimensions of the piece as well. (trying to ascertain if it is a casserole dish or a candy dish!) Thanks!
