Blue Ridge - Dinnerware

Blue Ridge Pottery was the product of Southern Potteries, Inc. of Erwin Tennesse. The company produced hand-decorated pottery from 1917 to 1957. In the early years, this pottery was known as Clinchfield Pottery. Collectors are still finding and recording patterns heretofore unknown. I have several books on Blue Ridge but I am always looking to identify the unknown patterns that I list. I have pieces from forty identifed patterns and a few unknowns that are listed under their shape. Most large Blue Ridge pieces are marked as Blue Ridge but some smaller ones are not.
