Luncheon Plates, Blue Ridge Southern Pottery, Carnival, Hand Painted Ceramic, Vintage USA 1950s

Blue Ridge Southern Pottery has its own devoted following — collectors who seek it out specifically, who know the patterns by name, who form clubs and trade pieces. "Carnival" is easy to understand why.  Bold primary flowers — red, blue, and yellow — bloom against cream ceramic, their stems brown, their leaves deep green. The border carries a candlewick finish that frames the design with quiet handmade charm.

Backstamped with the Blue Ridge Southern Pottery mark. Made in Tennessee in the 1950s, entirely by hand — no two pieces identical. There are other Blue Ridge pieces on the site if you'd like to search for more.

A single Luncheon and/or Dinner size plate that works beautifully as a replacement for a cherished set, a wall display, or a pop of color on a kitchen shelf. A wonderful gift for a pottery collector or a lover of American folk craft.
