american export item detail Mfg.: Sterling
Pattern name: AEL Teal*
Item illustrated: bouillon, 6" to handles
Item date: undated
Circa: 1960's

Pattern description: This body of this china is white with a dark teal blue exterior glaze. Plates and bowls in this pattern have a white well with blue-green (teal) rim.
Pattern notes: The dark, opaque teal color of this pattern required somewhat heavy glaze application and is known for being inconsistent, occasionally showing thin spots and runs. As this china was in use in the early 1960's, examples appear with American Export Lines as well as with American Export Isbrandtsen Lines backstamps.
