This was the everyday china used by American families in
the early 20th century. The bluebird has always been associated with happy
events, tranquility, and good fortune. In many cultures these playful birds with
their beautiful song were the symbols of the annual renewal we call Spring.
Most of this china was made in the area of Ohio near East
Liverpool but there are samples made in Europe and Asia. The bluebirds are
actually decals applied under the final clear glazes. There were over 50
manufacturers of this wonderful china, but they all used the same half dozen of
so decals from companies like Meyercord Decal Company in Chicago. The placement
and quantity of the decals was distinctive for each pottery and today helps in
identification.
Since this was everyday china an never placed in a china
cabinet it often shows wear and tear. Some pieces are crazed form sitting on a
hot range or in an oven. Some are stained from age. The collector accepts these
"marks of character" and will even covet a rare item that has chips or
cracks.
