[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 2730855, member: 88"]Welcome to the forum!! :happy::happy: This pattern was made by countless companies. Some were & are known. Sometimes there are subtle differences in the pattern sometimes you can not tell the difference between companies. These pieces were made by a process called transfer printing & it is definitely not an exact science. Sometimes the pattern moved or it didn't line up at the end. Here is an explanation of transfer printing. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_printing#:~:text=Transfer%20printing%20is%20a%20method,as%20transferware%20or%20transfer%20ware[/URL]. The bottom line is this is a nice platter in a very useable size in the Blue Willow pattern made by a probably unknown company. You may or may not even know who the company is or was & in the end, it is not probably going to change anything about the platter. As the famous saying goes, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. ;):D :playful::playful:[/QUOTE]
