This Blue Willow Ware dish needs a good soak to clean the crazing but I like it. It’s a Buffalo Pottery pickle dish, 1911. While there are fakes of Buffalo Pottery, I think this dish is authentic because of the shape and the shading of the Buffalo on the mark. It’s sort of a neat history because (at least according to Spruce Crafts) it was “the first American-based company to produce a line of Blue Willow Ware”. It was a promotional item, a “gift with purchase” offered by Larkin Soap Company. I love both Blue Willow Ware and old advertising and promotional items, so I’m very pleased with it for the $1.00 I paid. (Worthpoint Value of $13, so not a big ticket item - just something I like and plan to hang in my home.) I also found this majolica pitcher for $10 at a flea market.
