Shapes of Flow Blue China

Video Transcript

"So we are going to talk a little bit about the different forms and shapes you can collect in flow blue. We have some examples here today. This is the waste bowl which is a fun shape that you can use in a lot of different ways today, not to just display. Then you have the handle cups and saucers which are really popular. I particular like the handle cup and saucers; they show really well. You could actually use these if you wanted to. Then you can start with the small kind of like a bread and butter size up to a salad plate that goes up to a dinner size plate. I don't have a really large plate in front of us right now but 9 to 10 inches is the range for the plates. You can get into some shapes like this that are soup bowls. This shape like this is really fun to collect. Early and later the other things that we talked about too is you can collect the teapot here and the creams and sugars. They are really similar. You can just take a look over here at the Mulberry. You can see that a lot of these plates in the Mulberry are the same pattern. You can actually find these in the same patterns flow blue as you do in Mulberry but you are going to look and see similar shapes when you are collecting in the flow blue. So this is something. I don't have the sugar bowl or creamers to show you but you are going to get the same thing in flow blue. So that is something to look for when you are collecting shapes in the flow blue. Other examples would be this is a planter or large size vase which is in flow blue which is a really pretty planter but later you can see the guild again made around the turn of the century. Made around the 1900's. It is really pretty and a great way to show you plants and decorate anywhere in your house and it is a great showy piece. These are out there in many different sizes and the price varies quite a bit. You can find some with a lot of flow blue and this one I would medium with a nice white background with a lot of crazing but some pretty deep blues up top. Even though these are the turn of the century pieces. It is really a pretty piece. So these are a few examples of what you can collect. There is a full dinnerware, tableware set that you can begin to collect in this area so these are just a few examples."
