Blue Ridge Pottery "Yellow Nocturne" Pattern

Yellow Nocturne platter, dessert plate, and cups and saucers

Like many people in the southern mountains, I grew up eating off Blue 

Ridge pottery dinnerware everyday. Who would have thought that this Blue Ridge dishware would now be so collectable? The pattern my Mother used was “Yellow Nocturne” from Blue Ridge and Southern Potteries. Southern Potteries of Erwin, Tennessee, produced Blue Ridge Dinnerware Pottery and China  from the late 1930's until closing in mid-1957.

The "Yellow Nocturne" pattern has a bright yellow petal flower with a brown center, lovely green leaves and a thin yellow line on the outside edge on a white background. The pattern is in the Colonial shape and each piece is slightly different since they are hand painted. All her dishes have chips but are still usable but the serving pieces she had are now broken. I have been collecting extra dishes, cups and saucers, and platters.
