How to Date Antique Yellow Ware

antique yellow

The best way to date antique yellow ware is by its maker. Often, markings on yellow ware will give you some clues about its age. Weller, Bennington, Hull, and Brush-McCoy are some common producers. However, not all pieces are marked. It is important to note that goods made outside the United States are required to display the country of manufacture. So, if you are planning to display an antique yellow bowl, it is a good idea to check the markings on the item.

The main difference between reproduction yellowware and antique yellow ware is that the former was produced earlier. Yellow ware was first made in Scotland in the late 1700s. Later, it was manufactured in Yorkshire and Staffordshire England. This ware was imported into the United States until the mid-1800s, when American potteries learned that yellow clay was readily available. Most contemporary yellowware is made in molds and is unmarked. The color can range from a light yellow to a yellow that resembles pumpkin.

Antique yellow ware bowls were the popular dish before the rise of plastic. These dishes were available in many colors and patterns. However, in the mid-20th century, they were pushed aside by quaint casserole dishes. With the recent resurgence in popularity among vintage collectors, however, the yellow bowls are once again making a comeback. If you are considering purchasing one of these vintage bowls, make sure you do your research.
