For joelippard:
Joe:
Those plates are the "Blue Heaven" pattern from Royal China, a long-gone company that was in Sebring, OH. These dishes originally sold in places like Woolies and W.T. Grant, or one piece at a time with purchase in grocery stores. The pattern is plentiful and cheap, even on eBay.
Hope that helps you -

I can't get over the spinning meat - looks tender enough to have just slipped right off the stick!
Great finds guys!

You Know, Robert:
That was badly phrased, wasn't it? My apologies. What I was trying to say was that "Blue Heaven" won't break anyone's budget, and that it's easily replaced if something happens to a piece.

Well,
I'm bidding on "Blue Heaven" right now. For anyone interested there is a company here in NC Called Replacements LTD, that has all kinds of vintage patterns. The website is www.replacements.com

Replacements Ltd is a nice resource to have, especially if you're looking for pieces to match a rare pattern, but I have found that they are quite overpriced on some items. Last Weds. I picked up a service for 8 for $40 to match my Grandma Wilde's china at one our local thrifts. But, I don't always get that lucky. The link is to replacements.com to show what my pattern looks like.

No need for apologies Sandy, I was just being silly
, I do see the pattern at estate sales quite often.

Replacements Limited
This place is about 40 min from us ...the good news is if you want it they have or can get it...it is also gay owned...the bad news is,if you would pay 1.00 at a thrift store, they want25to30.00 for it, VERY EXPENSIVE,but if you like dishes etc, it is an adventure not to be missed.

Fred,
I love the canister vac - Montgomery Wards if I can see correctly??? Rebadged from Eureka...I loved them! I am a big canister fan and for "over-the-counter" vacs Eureka was my favorite!
PS...Who doesn't love spinning meat - It did look wonderfully tender.

Joe:
Replacements is a life-saver when you have something rare and need to replace pieces in a hurry (like finding out your biggest platter is broken two weeks before Thanksgiving), but for "Blue Heaven," you don't usually have to worry about that. It turns up in thrifts, antique malls usually have a booth with some in it, and it's all over eBay.
Robert: I knew you were being silly, but still, I could have phrased that better, LOL!

Really intrigued by the cooker
You'll have to let us know how the various meats come out. Are they known for tenderizing or what?
I have one "Blue Heaven" plate in my assorted collection, and every time its turn comes up, I smile because it's pretty, simple, and nice. Now that I know its name I'll smile twice--Blue heaven, the Lake! ;D
and what!?.....NO washers... I'm very disappointed ;'D Think I'll go have a good cry. Chuckle. Chuckle.

Minor Find:
Actually ran across something I'd been looking for today in St. Vinny's - two pieces of Corning Ware in the cornflower pattern. One's a later-production 2-liter piece, one's an earlier-production 1-quart piece. Both have lids, and I got a handle too - all for $8. Not bad for thrift-store shopping these days. I'd show them to you, but I need to clean them up first - they're pretty dirty for the moment.

More on "Blue Heaven"
Anyone who's new to hunting for "Blue Heaven" will have a couple of odd experiences before you learn - you will see something that looks like "Blue Heaven" from across the thrift store, and you'll blow out a tennis shoe getting to it, but then you'll see the pattern is a little different, and the colour is funny.
What you will have found is Taylorware's "Cathay," which was a knock-off of "Blue Heaven." It'll take you a couple of times, but you'll soon know the difference across the room. Here's a pic:

Sandy, you have a most generous "eye"
in that you could allow a "Cathay " as an almost "Blue Heaven."
With tolerance and acceptance like that, you would have made a marvelous teacher! Amazing.
And thanks again for "Blue heaven." My motley crew of dinner plates are very happy tonight; they didn't know they had a celebrity among them;-D

As you note, it's not much of a resemblance when you're looking at the two side-by-side. But across a thrift store or antique mall, you'd be surprised how "Cathay" will make you look twice.

Pretty name
I inherited a set of Blue Heaven from my aunt, who must have acquired it piece by piece @ the grocery. She was frugal like that. Thanks, Sandy, for putting a name to the pattern. And yes, I've been fooled by Cathay a time or two in my rounds. I thought I was the ONLY one who preferred cornflower Corning! I'm aswim in the stuff, are you looking for anything in particular?
