A garden that one makes oneself becomes associated with one’s personal history... Alfred Austin (1835 -1913)

{HISTORY}

Hailing from Evansville, Indiana in the mid-1940's,  this vintage platter in the June Rose pattern with the Washington Colonial shape was made by Vogue Pottery. Following WWII, Vogue bought the well-known, well established Evansville pottery plant, Uhl  which had been manufacturing jugware since the 1840's. Instead of the heavy, utilitarian earthenware and stoneware jugs that Uhl was famous for making, Vogue took a more delicate route, utilizing the pottery plant to produce more fragile and feminine dishware. Although Vogue dishes are beautiful to behold, their manufacturing days were a short lived venture as the business would fold after just a few years and the plant purchased by Louisville Pottery.

This limited run in manufacture makes Vogue dishware a fun collectible. The Washington Colonial shape with its beautiful scalloped edging and basket weave style embossing are a very unique style. The pretty pink blossom pattern which Vogue named June Rose is simple and stylish - lovely for both table settings and wall display.
