Flow BlueFlow blue was a type of transfer pottery produced by Staffordshire, England…
First you have to look at the bottom and write down as much information as you can decipher. My guess it's from England. Now the Pottery Company will also be listed on the bottom and probably a registry number and a crest of some sort. Your pictures don't do your pieces justice I am afraid. I am a fan of flow blue. Next the size. You have to take measurements of the bowl and the pitcher. Also you have to be honest about the condition, yellowing, cracks, chips, any missing chunks have to take pictures of that. All of this affects the value. One more thing does your pieces have gold trim? If so, a lot of it? Minimal? Now you have posted 2 sets of different flow blue with different patterns and I suspect from different companies and probably from a different time. The first pitcher and bowl set left to you does it have any other pieces matching it if so what and what is there condition? The same goes for the second? Hopefully you can answer all of these questions and get back to me. Hopefully I can help you.
