Vintage Sterling China Co. Blue Willow Plate 10" – USA Made – Restaurant Ware – Transferware

Bring timeless charm to your table or wall decor with this vintage Blue Willow plate by Sterling China Company. Measuring 10 inches across, this durable restaurant ware piece showcases the iconic Blue Willow pattern in bold cobalt blue on creamy white ceramic. Made in East Liverpool, Ohio, it features transferware imagery with pagodas, birds, and a willow tree in a traditional chinoiserie scene.

On the underside, you’ll find three tiny unglazed dots—known as **kiln stilt marks—which are a normal result of the firing process. These marks were left by the supports used to hold the plate in place during glazing and kiln firing, a common characteristic in mid-century American pottery.
