[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 9580148, member: 649"]Just FYI, you don't need to use the polling feature, you can post without it. Blue Willow was made by many companies for many years so "fake" doesn't really apply. It's very commonly found and mostly of little value. You have a range of ages for your examples, the Johnson Brothers piece is recent. The Allertons piece is early-ish 20th century, that mark being used from 1929-42, per [URL='http://www.thepotteries.org/allpotters/18.htm']THIS[/URL] info. I don't know about the age of the Japan plate as I only collect English-made pieces (though not Blue Willow). Lots of info on the pattern and makers can be found by googling. My MIL had a large collection of vintage BW, they were her "everyday" dishes. When she passed we had an estate sale... nobody bought it and it ended up being donated to the local Salvation Army thrift store.[/QUOTE]
