As we researched this set looking for information regarding this pattern, we found a website that identifies this exact pattern used by Sovereign Potters of Canada. Sovereign opened in 1933, was purchased by Johnson Brothers of England in 1947, and closed in the late 1950's. Sovereign called the pattern Mitsouki, and it was produced on a shape (probably) designed by Russel and Mary Wright. There was no definitive indication of who designed the Mitsouki pattern, however typically (back then, anyway) when a designer created a shape, they created the graphics pattern too. Could this pattern have been designed by Russel Wright, his wife Mary, or perhaps both? How did it end up on Steubenville blanks? Obviously Russel Wright had a relationship with Steubenville, as they manufactured his ever-popular dinnerware of the 1950s called American Modern. Or did it start on Steubenville, and then end up on the Sovereign blanks? An unsolved mystery… but a gorgeous—and extremely rare set nonetheless.
Blue floral color is a slate/grayish-blue with black stems
No chips nor cracks nor staining nor graphics fading
One of the lugged cereal bowls has obvious crazing (picture 9)
Overall colors and glossy glaze are vibrant and crisp with little color and gloss loss, with the dinner plates having some spots of color loss here and there in the graphics from utensil marks
Mostly light, some medium-ish utensil marks that really can't be seen unless held to the light (except for where the utensil marks cut through the graphics)
Set includes
4 Dinner plates: 10-1/4"
4 Salad plates: 8-1/2"
4 Bread plates: 6-3/8"
4 Lugged cereal bowls: 6-7/8" x 5-7/8" x 2" tall
