Lots of people have asked me about Blue Ridge marks.  Below is a listing I found of several marks and jobber marks.
Blue Ridge “Hand Painted Under The Glaze” dinnerware was the creation of a company known as Southern Potteries located in Erwin, Tennessee founded back in the early 1900′s. The real allure of these items is the uniqueness of each plate, platter, cup, saucer, tea pot and gravy boat. Each was hand painted and then glazed to create a truly special item with each dish. Although the Blue Ridge dinnerware line experienced many years of success, Southern Potteries eventually closed it’s doors in the late 1950′s. Since then, Blue Ridge China and dinnerware has been remembered as a product of some of the best days in American history. That memory has cultivated a strong emotion towards these dishes and has made them quite collectible.

For a more in depth history and to keep up with the Blue Ridge / Southern Potteries community that is still alive today, head over to SouthernPotteries.com

 
Blue Ridge China is known for having different markings stamped on the back of the dishes. Depending on the time in history they were made and the factory you can find anything from the traditional Blue Ridge stamp, to the Peasant Village or the Mountain Glory. Some dishes don’t have any marking which can sometimes make it a little difficult to authenticate. Pictured here are just a few of the stamps found on the back of Blue Ridge China.
