Pottery Chatroom Board

@ver2us1 Janice , Thanks. i was sure that you would come through. I had done some Googling but did not come up with the pattern name. Thanks, Helen in Indy

@ver2us1 Janice , I did realize after a bit that it was you who had sent the emails about the candle snuffers. Thank you. Help and corrections are always appreciated.
We have been with out electricity for most of the afternoon. Had some rain but had not noticed any wind or lightening. Apparently the outage was not wide spread as we could see lights at our neighbors just up the hill from us.
For once I finished looking at and reading the entire Sunday paper. Now I must Google to see who won the Colts game.

@ver2us1 Janice, I have had them 3-4 years or maybe longer. They came from a thrift store that is supplied by AMVets so could have been from most any part of the city. I'll ask around about seafood restaurants that have closed in the last few years. If there had been other pieces there that had the same design I probably would have bought those, too.
There is a person on one of the other boards that collects restaurant ware. I'll ask her. If I get any additional information I'll report to you.
Thanks for your help,
Helen in Indy

@ver2us1 Janice, A better picture of the fish motif on the cups.

@ver2us1 Janice, My Homer Laughlin question. I found bunches of these cups at a thrift store. And my searches have found mentions of 'restaurant ware.'

I have not found any matches for the fish pattern
Thanks,

@ver2us1 Janice, Thanks. I'll be back in a bit with an ID request for Homer Laughlin cups.

@ver2us1 Janice , I got an image program up and running this afternoon so maybe I can get some pictures tomorrow.

@ver2us1 Janice , If we have good light tomorrow I'll try to get a picture of it . Thanks, Helen

Good morning Pottie friends. Early to bed and early up for me. Seems like I need about 6 hours of food sound sleep to get me rejuvenated.

@ver2us1 Janice , Shelley and I were mentioning you on the Glass Board and how knowledgeable and helpful you are. Thank you.
Helen or bbg

@ver2us1 --- Janice, information noted. I was guessing mixing bowl . But wondering about other sizes.
Susan --- Thanks for the Replacements reminder. I often forget about checking there. Good place for checking value. Probably will sell for about half their asking price.
I too am a little puzzled about why inviting others to join dis-encouraged. Guess that I am much more of an includer than dis-includer. Misspelled words and all.

@ver2us1 --- Janice, Thank you so much for all your help. Based on your information that the BV is blue on a shiny white I have decided that everything that I have except those serving pieces is Yorktowne.
Now to get some better pictures and a good title. I will be listing them as a set. Haven't decided on a price but I'm thinking $45.00 for the set. Maybe overpriced but they can set there for a few weeks. Thanks again and again, Helen

@ver2us1 --- i am studying and comparing the Yorktowne and the Blue Village both in my inventory and the eBay listings. Looks like there might be a lot of listings that are under YT which are actually BV . In fact I am now cross-eyed from the comparison effort. After further study I'll post my conclusions.

@ver2us1 : Janice - Thanks for the response. I was just going by the eBay Guides to "fake" Kalk porcelain. So maybe they are Arnart? Surely they couldn't be Kalk (i could only be so lucky).
