Condition: Very good vintage — crazing on some pieces, slight wear on some rims, consistent with age and use; hand wash recommended. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
He founded Knowles China Company in 1900, expanded to West Virginia in 1913, and kept that standard until the company closed in 1963 — unable to compete with cheaper imports, but never willing to lower the bar. Collectors have been seeking out Knowles ever since.
Blossom Time is one of his loveliest patterns: white, pink, and yellow flowers of varying sizes on thin branches with taupe and silvery leaves, all finished with a gold rim. Off-white in tone rather than bright white, which gives it a warmth that suits a cottage table, a French country kitchen, or a mix of pink depression glass. We also carry matching serving pieces.
A beautiful set for someone building a vintage American table, a Knowles collector, or anyone who loves florals done with restraint and grace.
