Blue Danube China Dishes
But when I was fortunate enough to travel in the Far East, I noticed a lot of blue and white patterns, some of them very similiar to the Blue Danube pattern, so I decided to do a little research about blue and white china in general.
I had seen a lot of blue and white dishes in Europe when I travelled there too, so I was interested in seeing when the trade routes would have brought the China ones to Europe. That turned into a fascinating journey itself.
I know a lot of people love blue and white dishes in general and Blue Danube dishes in particular, so I went scouring the internet to see if I could find it on sale. I was able to find many pieces at bargain prices.
Since I think mixing them with cobalt blue heightens their beauty, I have included some basic cobalt blue dishes and accessories as well...and some pretty blue art posters. Click on any poster to purchase from AllPosters.com.
Enjoy!

The History of Blue Danube China Dishes
Blue Danube Dishes
If all the Royals ever got together and voted on a pattern for themselves, then Blue Danube China would have to be one of the contenders. Royal families have reverently chosen Blue Danube china's exquisite design for centuries. And before the Blue Danube pattern they used similiar Chinese dinnerware, especially in the Northern European countires of the Netherlands, France, England, and Germany.The design of the present day Blue Danube china was created in 1951. This exquisite fine china pattern was inspired by a design from the Yuan dynasty (1260-1368 A.D.) Blue Danube china depicts the flowers of good fortune and happiness; no wonder it's become the world's most famous pattern.
Blue Danube china, dinnerware, giftware and tableware, fired to about 2400F, are underglazed translucent porcelain products. This means Blue Danube china is highly chip resistant, dishwasher safe, detergent proof and microwave safe.
The oven going pieces are even able to withstand the very high temperatures of oven baking.
The original backstamp was used from 1951-1976. This has the words Blue Danube in script on a ribbon banner with the words Reg. US. Pat. Off. underneath. The Rectangular Backstamp dates from 1977-1996.
By using different backstamps the company states that it "provides the Blue Danube collectors a dating method adding value to the older pieces." The current stamp has script words Blue Danube and a swirl decorative line "frame" around them. They also had a commemorative one for their 50th anniversary 1951-2001 pieces. Those have already gained in value.

- I have my mother's set of Blue Danube, and as with many things in life; I didn't appreciate them so much until now. I had always planned to hand them down to my two daughters one day, so I stopped using them many years ago to keep them safe! However, I now realize that I should be enjoying them myself, while I am still alive! Besides, neither of them may be able to use them or even want to use them. We are about to do a total kitchen remodel, so I've decided that this is the time to bring them back out. I actually would like to design the kitchen around the dishes. I'm having hardwood floors, and using my white appliances. I'd love some ideas about paint color, etc.

- I love the Blue Danube pattern. My first set of dishes was cobalt blue and white. I've always loved that color combination. You have certainly found some lovely china to spotlight here. I enjoyed learning more about the history of this pattern. Thanks!

- Beautiful dishes - and thank you for sharing the information and history about the blue Danube dinnerware. My mom used to have quite a few pieces as well - and I always liked them. They do have a certain special kind of elegance to them. No wonder they are the choice of royalties so often.

- Where is "here"? I don't find a link that goes anywhere. ("The buy it on sale here! more" link goes nowhere for me) I am familiar with Replacements ltd. and ebay actions. Replacements wants $50 each for a soup bowl. We broke 6 of those...A few years back there was a place in Australia with killer deals but they no longer deal in it.

- I meant here on the page. I found a bunch at ebay! and I would put your name on the Amazon page of it to be emailed when more shows up. People are actually selling things on Amazon in the same way they used to for eBay. So if you give them your email, they will notify you. Good luck! I would also try Craig's list. Sometimes estate sales have it.

- Thank you!! This was also my grandmother's pattern, and I also picked it for my own. I'm so sad that it's now out of production. I have all the pieces I need, but that doesn't stop me from picking up odd pieces off Ebay. There are so many pieces!!
