FYI for the reel:
is a highly collectible vintage pattern of blue-and-white dinnerware made of durable English . Produced by Enoch & Co. in the historic district of England, the line ran from 1975 to 1981. It was originally created as a promotional item for the Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings and Loan Association to mark its 50th anniversary and tie into the upcoming 1976 U.S. . Customers received pieces of the historic colonial-themed tableware for opening accounts or making deposits.
Design & Pattern Guide
Each type of dish features a distinct center scene depicting pre-Revolutionary and Revolutionary War events or homes of Founding Fathers, all framed by a signature border of mixed wildflowers.
Dinner Plate (9 ¾"): Independence Hall
Luncheon Plate (8 ¾"): Washington at Valley Forge
Salad Plate (6 ¾"): Washington Leaving Christ Church (Note: True salad plates are highly sought after by collectors and are harder to find than bread plates).
Bread & Butter Plate (6"): Monticello (Thomas Jefferson’s home)
Soup Bowl: Old North Church
Cereal Bowl: Mount Vernon
Fruit/Dessert Bowl (5"): Betsy Ross
Teacup: Paul Revere's Ride
Market Value & Rarity
Individual basic pieces (like teacups, saucers, or bread plates) are affordable, usually ranging from $5 to $15. Dinner plates generally sell for $15 to $30 depending on condition. Rarer serving pieces—such as the Boston Tea Party covered vegetable bowl, the Lafayette Landing covered butter dish, or large platters—command much higher prices from collectors. Complete, large multi-piece sets can range in value from $300 to upwards of $2,000 for pristine, extensive collections.
Identification & Care
Authentic pieces feature an eagle backstamp on the bottom, usually noting the historical scene title and stating that they are "Dishwasher and Detergent safe". However, because they are vintage ironstone, hand-washing is often recommended to prevent "crazing" (fine cracks in the glaze) over time.
