Longaberger Pottery 4-Place Setting Dinnerware Set

This is a four-place setting dinnerware set from Longaberger Pottery, characterized by its rustic aesthetic and earthy color palette. The set consists of dinner plates, salad plates, bowls, and mugs, with four pieces of each, totaling 16 items. The predominant colors are a warm speckled yellow-gold, a muted blue, an olive green, and a deep reddish-brown (maroon). Each piece features a distinctive textured basketweave pattern impressed into the pottery, a signature characteristic of Longaberger, which originally started as a basket-making company. This texture is visible on the rims of the plates and bowls, and on the exterior of the mugs. The interior surfaces of the bowls and plates are smooth and glazed, while the mugs have a uniform glazed finish. The pottery appears to be stoneware, known for its durability. The items are generally in good visible condition with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant damage. There may be minor signs of use typical of dinnerware, such as faint utensil marks or slight glaze inconsistencies, but these are not clearly discernible from the image. The manufacturing details, such as maker's marks, are not visible in the provided images, but based on the context, they would likely be stamped on the underside of each piece. This type of pottery is typically associated with a casual, country, or farmhouse style, reflecting the brand's heritage. The estimated age would likely be from the late 20th to early 21st century, when Longaberger diversified into pottery. The craftsmanship appears solid and consistent across the pieces, indicating a mass-produced but quality dinnerware line.
