 vaccaro line item detail
Pattern description: This pattern consists of a wide blue line at the rim, and on this particular piece, a narrow blue line at the foot. The belted or "gartered" logo measures just over 1" across, and includes the line's house flag at center. Both "Vaccaro Line" and "Standard Fruit & S S Co" appear, the former being above the belt in red, and the latter within the belt, in blue. The numeral "8" also appears at the bottom of the belt. We are puzzled by this, even more so as numbers appear on the line's silverplate as well.
Pattern notes: none

*Karl Spence refers to this pattern as VAC2, and dates an example of Sterling China with the same logo as circa 1940
