I have to say, I really love your Salem Biscayne, too, probably even better than my Blue Heaven! I love the little coral-colored dot in the flower and of course, the aqua leaf. Thanks for the info on my dinnerware. Since it found me -- it was destiny, I guess. Thanks, Femme 1. I have to say, I really love your Salem Biscayne, too, probably even better than my Blue Heaven!

One of the reasons I like it so much, besides it being plentiful and cheap, is that the yellow in the leaf and the cream color of the plate matches my kitchen checkerboard wall tiles. We found several boxes of these yellow tiles when we moved into our first house (not a 50s ranch) in Indiana. I saved them, of course, and used them when we moved into our ranch. I've done a little research on your Blue Heaven dishes. They were made by the Royal China Company of Sebring, Ohio. Ohio was the home of many famous potteries that made many of the mid-century modern china patterns that we love. According to OhioRiverPottery.com, Blue Heaven started into production in the mid-60s and had approximate 25 different items available.
