Description: China made for 1776-1976 bicentennial celebration of America´s Declaration of Independence from England. Historical scenes on each piece.
Staffordshire Liberty Blue, dinnerware tableware pattern was a 1976 promotional premium item made to tie in with the 1776-1976 bicentennial celebration of America´s Declaration of Independence from England. They were made by Enoch Wedgwood in the Staffordshire district of England, in the tradition of the 19th century Staffordshire historical blue china. - See Additional Information at bottom of page.
Prices for Liberty Blue are rising rapidly. At the bottom of the Liberty Blue table is a copy of an original grocery ad along with an original open stock price list/order form.
I have also included a list of the pieces made in the Liberty Blue.
The blue on white Staffordshire ironstone depicts different Historic Colonial Scenes on each piece. The photo of the coffee pot above was sent to us by Joan Atkinson. The coffee pot appears to be authentic as it has the Liberty Blue stamp. We are not sure about the lid. If anyone can document this piece or if you have more information on this let us know. Are there other pieces out there?

The Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings and Loan was a a large financial institution in the Pacific Northwest, whose board of directors contacted Enoch Wedgewood to develop a unique pattern of dinnerware exclusively for them. As an incentive to their customers, they offered pieces and place settings at reasonable prices, depending on the amount of money deposited; i.e. the first deposit of $50 dollars one was given a four piece place setting free. Subsequent place settings could be purchased for $4.95. Coasters with Benjamin Franklin´s picture, made
exclusively for the Ben Franklin bank, were given away with each place setting purchased. In October 1976, the Ben Franklin newsletter announced that account holders had only until the end of the year to obtain more Liberty Blue pieces at these special prices. (Antiques and Collectibles from Kaleden P1-2) Liberty Blue
than became a grocery store promotional item for five additional years.
