Blue Ridge (dishware)
Blue Ridge is a brand and range of American tableware ( dishware) manufactured by Southern Potteries Incorporated from the 1930s until 1957.

The underglaze technique made the decorations more durable, and while basic patterns were reused consistently, the fact that each piece was hand-painted means that no two pieces are exactly alike.Betty Newbound, "Southern Potteries," ''Encyclopedia of Appalachia'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: University of Tennessee Press, 2006), p. 830.
