Antique 1916 Buffalo Pottery Blue Willow Plate

Circa 1916/Buffalo, New York

Buffalo Pottery was established in 1901 in Buffalo, New York, initially founded by the Larkin Soap Company as a premium incentive manufacturer. They quickly gained acclaim for their high-quality underglaze transferware, including their popular interpretation of the traditional Blue Willow pattern.

By 1916, the pottery had mastered semi-vitreous production, creating durable, commercial-grade tableware that graced American homes. Pieces bearing the buffalo backstamp from this era are highly collectible among Americana and transferware enthusiasts.
