Manufacturer: Shenango China
User/Pattern name: Raleigh
Date of bowls: 1920s-1948
Date of egg cup: (decal) 1930s-1948
Notes: Bright floral border pattern appears to be hand filled. The two bowls shown together, below, have different backstamps with different dates, and it is interesting that the flowers are filled in differently from bloom to bloom. And what a bonus for a Shenango piece that we've been gifted with the pattern name on the backstamp!
This pattern has also been seen in a version with a black background instead of the blue shown here, and with red lines rather than yellow lines. And we've just added a striking version with flowers in white (color of the clay body) against a black background.
