When talking about collecting flow blue, when you look at the patterns and the colors you
can see there is a distinct difference between the ages. When you look at the early flow
blue, here you can see there is flow and a very heavy blue color pigment on it. When
you look at a much later pattern, which is this right here which is probably 1920, you
have some guilt around the edges. You have a deep blue but it is not flowing and you
have that gold guilding. Gold guilding will tell you that it is made during the early
1900's. It's not the earlier blue. So that is one way to distinguish. Here is another
pattern here that you can see. There is flowing here on this blue but this is a much later
pattern with a lighter ironstone base. You can tell there is not as much flow in this
as there is to this and this is a much heavier ironstone. Here is another example of a lighter
ironstone but still an earlier piece, not as much flow. You can see that it has come
through on the backside. This porcelain piece is a light thinner than this cup and saucer
right here. You can see there is a big difference. Quite a range of these pieces, the flow and
the price range.
