Finally............Hazel Floral Pattern

            Scio Pottery HAZEL Floral Pattern
After 30 years of collecting it I finally found out the name...Can you just believe it.. I had always wondered what or if it had a name. It only show USA on the bottom of most pieces... and through surfing and looking on the internet I finally found it out..I had always referred to them as my Granny dishes...Mom claimed they were given out at the movies back in her time...(1935 up)
 It has been a favorite pattern of mind for years...and I mean years about 30 years ago I started collecting these. maybe longer my son is almost 35.. I have almost all of the set....well at least what I know of it..but never have I owned or seen the sugar bowl..I have two creamers each being different. One I recently found at the Goodwill store for $1.99... I know there are two patterns of these as well the dishes, talking about the way the pattern is place on the dishes...
 I think it's the most sweetest pattern...
 recently I found a set of six dishes at the tea house but square and a pink edging... and of course I purchased them.. I always have used them with blue glass.. I thought pink would be fun as well..
 A bit of information: So other than Mom saying they were given out at the movie houses..I found this info,These beautiful dishes was originally sold at F.W. Woolworths, Kresges, and Ben Franklin stores. Pink Roses, blue and yellow floral bouquet with gold trim, scalloped edges. It is unmarked except for the USA stamp. It was sold during 1935 - 1955
The piece that I'm lacking in is the darling sugar bowl I have never seen one till I started surfing for the pattern...and they are indeed very rare items...the few that I did find were sold already...
 Isn't it just tooo cute...I'm so sad I really want this piece to complete my set...I have found a couple on a replacement site, but they want $55.00 each...it's my only hope... but I'm thinking wow $55.00 dollars hummmmmm... but lol I just might break down and buy one I don't want to lose out... If I take a chance and wait I 'm might not ever find another they seem to be very rare...
Some of my collection
Just need that sugar bowl...
 Well I hope that you have enjoyed my little bit of information, I know I'm very happy that I finally found it out after all these years..
Wishing you a enchanting weekend.  I'm heading off for home now probably won't be back till Monday or something like that..
See you soon.
With Love Janice

  1. The information we can find on the Internet! The roses on the china are pretty, imagine receiving dishes when going to the show today? I think if it was me, I'd treat myself to the sugar bowl while you can still get one.

  2. Your china is just beautiful. WOW hearing about dishes being given away at the movies I think I would visit the movies way more often. I will have to be on the look out for you.

  3. Janice, that is a really pretty pattern! And I love the way you have mixed it with the green glass dishes. Hope you find your sugar bowl soon.

  4. Beautiful and so good you could find the name! I have spent hours at times trying to find names to the patterns! I know $55 sounds like a lot, but usually if it is from Replacements Ltd. it has no chips and it has it's lid, usually very hard to find with sugar bowls. If it is the only piece you need to complete the set, this money is a very good investment. It would bring a higher value to the set as well, if you should ever want to sell it. Do you show off all of your china on shelves?

  5. A year later and I find your post and the name of the pieces I have from my grandmother, but I've only been searching for about 20 years :)

    I rarely find pieces to add to my collection and I do a lot of thrift shopping...

  6. My mother in law had a casserole bowl of the Hazel pattern and every time we visited I always made sure to use that bowl for what ever was being served. One Christmas my two sister-in-laws gave me a complete set from a hardware store in West Virginia. My children grew up with that set and since I have bought several other sets. My favorite is a large shallow, I guess, soup or salad bowl and the oatmeal bowl. Have you found the sugar bowl? If not I will keep my eyes open, I hit antique stores all the time. I have the sugar bowl you pictured and also another version that seems to have older lines. I have used several of these plates on my website and I would like to link one of the pictures to your site, if that is Ok. Let me know. Thanks

  7. Check on Ebay, I have seen several pieces of this pattern on that website for somewhat reasonble prices. Just remember to check the shipping costs and where they will deliver too or if it is a need to pick up order. This pattern happens to be my mother's all time favorite and I grab pieces whenever possible, and I was lucky enough to find/purchase a mostly complete set of the same style of dishes without the pattern on them from the same maker! Good luck with your search for the sugar bowl, I hope you get it soon.

  8. Did you ever find your sugar bowl?? There is one on ebay right now for 19.95. Matches your pic exactly. I really want to thank you for making me aware of this pattern name. I bought a set at an auction(all together 50 pieces) for $20 about 20 years ago. My kids laugh at me because I only use it for special occasions. But it is the favorite of all my chinas.

  9. After buying this pattern for my mother-in-law at all birthdays and Christmas for probably 30 years or more... I just found out today that the pattern name is HAZEL. And gues what? Her name was Hazel, too!!! I don't think she knew the name of it either, but she sure did enjoy her rose dishes!!! Thank you for the info!!!

  10. Finally is right! I bought a box full of this pattern at a junk shop some years ago and have always wondered what it was. Sorry, I don't have a sugar bowl for you. So glad to see your post!

  11. I have the complete set of dishes that serves 4 that includes a casserole dish, 2 serving bowls, 2 platters, creamer, & sugar bowl. They were past down from my great grandmother in 1950 to my family as a wedding gift. I didn't know the name was hazel and the company was Scio pottery from Ohio until recently. Does anyone know the value of a complete set. I wanted to pass them down to my granddaughter and was interested in the value.

    1. I would love to see a picture of your casserole dish. I have never seen one, even in books. I collect this pattern and now that I know there is a casserole dish, I will be keeping my eyes peeled for one. I would love to see a picture of yours.

  16. I am 68. When I was about 6 my mother used to get these for buying flour--I believe White Lilly. The bags of flour had a tear off about 1/2 inch wide that you could redeem for this dish. As not many people collected the tabs the wholesaler would sometimes give my mom some of the extras. My mom gave my wife hers and I bought a bunch from a family yard sale where the husband used to work at the wholesaler. My wife now has a couple of china cabinet shelves stacked full. But yes one of the flour companies did give them away for purchasing flour in the 50s.

  17. Funny how people keep stumbling over this old post! My Grandmama had a set that was used as her everyday dishes and I've loved the pattern since l was a child. One of my cousins took my Grandmama's set so, to have a set of my own, I've had to collect one a few pieces at a time over the years. I have both versions of the sugar and creamer sets....they're rarer than hen's teeth. The oatmeal bowls are also a fairly rare find....I've only found six. The company also used the pattern for vases....I have one....and wired table lamps....I have two in different sizes. So, did you ever find your sugar bowl?

    2. It is good to finally know the name and pattern!!!About 15 years ago I found a set of these dishes and being a lover of pink Rose's immediately fell in love with them! My set consisted of 80 pieces and included the sugar and creamer!! And several platters. You wont believe me when I tell you I paid $6.88 for all pieces!! I will hopefully keep adding to my lovely collection!!

  18. Oh! I'm delighted that you found it! $24 isn't terribly bad if it's the one piece you need to complete a set. This past weekend, we moved the China hutch that was my mother-in-law's to my house. I spent all of Monday pulling out all of my Hazel Ransom, washing and drying each piece, cleaning and oiling the hutch and cleaning all of the glass in the doors. Then I spent all of Tuesday arranging everything in the hutch along with some of my Hull, McCoy and Shawnee vases. It looks beautiful and I'm so glad to have my pretty things out where I can see them every day!

  19. Hi! I was soexcso excited to see your post. I have been collecting these dishes for almost 20 years but never knew the name. This was my grandmother's everyday dish pattern. She's been gone for many years. I was looking through an antique shop and saw a plate and it just kind of grabbed my attention. I kept looking at it and it suddenly dawned on me. It's amazing how childhood memories stick with you! Anyhow, I've been buying pieces for years now, but never knew the name. Now I know what to look for by name! How fun!!

    1. I've been collecting pieces for so many years now that my husband, daughter, son, best friend, best friend's daughter and one of my husband's cousins can spot a piece from fifty paces amidst a plethora of other patterns, lol! I believe that, for whatever the reason, the pattern is easier to find in the deep South. Over the years, I've been able to trade out pieces that showed a lot of wear for pieces in better condition. Still my favorite pattern of all time!

    2. Im so glad I too have been collecting for years. I used to thrift with my mom and it the first place that i ever found them.. Thanks

    3. Did you get a China hutch yet so you can see all of your pretty dishware? To be honest, I really didn't want my mother-in-law's China hutch. I had no idea where I would put it as we don't have a separate dining room. But my husband wanted so badly to keep it that I had to find a place for it somehow. Lol! We ended up putting in the foyer which is open to the living room and dining area! Strange place for a China hutch I guess....But it works!

  20. As a child in the early 1950s, we lived in the housing projects in the middle of Birmingham, Alabama. I always remembered this pattern and eating from those dishes. Although we were poor, whenever Mama would serve us our meals upon these plates, I felt as though we were rich, eating from such beautiful plates. I grew up and had my own family which grew up to have their own families, but I never forgot those dishes. I was yard saling one day and from a distance I saw the plate sitting there. My mind immediately went back to my childhood and the wonderful memory of that dinnerware. I hurriedly went to the plate, purchased it and from there began my journey to find more. Through the internet I found the name of the pattern, and lots of pieces for sale. I now have a small collection and wanting more. My granddaughter will be using them at her wedding reception. I also have a huge collection of the Dorset Rose pattern that SCIO manufactured. I am so glad to see others here that the pattern brings so wonderful memories.

    1. For whatever the reason, this pattern seems to have been quite plentiful in Alabama. My Grandmama lived in northwest Alabama and this is the pattern that she had and that I've been collecting for years and years. I always hit up a few flea markets when I go home and rarely walk away empty handed. :)

    2. My great-grandmother who had this beautiful pattern lived in East Alabama, in Russell County. I live in Auburn, and continue the collection. So yes,it must have been plentiful in Alabama. One other thing: my great-grandmother owned a country grocery store, so I wonder if she got the pattern from those wonderful bags of flour that used to contain gifts.

  21. Thank you so much for this. I had a few pieces I found when my grandma passed. I then had a tile mural for my kitchen made from an artist using the pattern, I have collected but never new the name. Was always led to believe it was a laughlin pattern. So happy to find out more about these special dishes.

  25. I am a collector of this pattern as well. I inherited a few pieces from my great-great aunt and I’ve been adding to it for the past 15 years. I think I’ve bought all the stock from Chicago to STL, but i need more! Lol

  26. My mother had several pieces of this pattern and when she passed away I was blessed with them. Over 15 found alot of the pieces. My mother lived in Clem Ga near Carrollton, Ga and I was told by my older brother that she got them with green stamps. What do you know about that? In our area in Opelika, Al and in Ga the pattern can be found alot. I do not see a USA on my dishes. I have not looked at all of them. I was told that they were made in 1927 and closed and reopened in 1933 thru 1957. Is this correct? Thanks for this site.

  27. I happen to find this pattern in a out of print pottery book at the library. It is the Ransom shape with Hazel pattern. It also had a brief history of the Scio Pottery Company. I have boxes of this in my basement This and Boutonniere must have been very popular in my area.

  28. These were the dishes that I ate on at my Gma's house for years as a little girl. I don't know what happened to it when she died in 1988. But recently, I opened my phone, a "trade and sell" app opened up. I went to exit, because I don't use these sites. When I did, the pattern popped up. I almost died! I made contact with the young lady immediately. I purchased a 56 piece set for $96.00. The set is missing one coffee cup and has one mismatched saucer(the other pattern). I couldn't be more thrilled!!!

  32. Janice,
    I, like you, have search for years for this pattern. These were my grandmother's dishes and I loved them. She did not have a complete set, just plates, bowls, cups, and saucers. By no means was it a full set. As she grew older, and was going to a nursing home, I asked if I could have these for myself as some of the sweetest memories of my Mama Nora (the name by which we called our grandmother).
    In my searching, there were none that were able to provide a name, or where I could go to find more information.

    By chance, today I recognized the pattern in a picture of listing for an estate sale near me. I decided to check it out. As I browsed the sale, I was near tears when I entered the upstairs room that had the display that was pictured on the internet. It was my grandmother's pattern.

    The host of the estate sale, knew nothing of the pattern.

    After purhasing, I stopped by a local consignment treasure's shop. The only thing she could tell me was that it was porcelain (not china) and it was from the 1930s and 1940s. Still no answers.

    At home, I started a google search and found the pattern was Hazel, made by the Scio company in Ohio.

    And, here I am. I will be pulling the items I have in storage and match up with the pieces that I purchased today.

    No there was no sugar bowl.

    I will continue in my search.

  33. I have the sugar bowl in the set I inherited from my grandma. I'm missing the cream pitcher and teapot. I absolutely adore my set! Grandma used it for everyday but I use it for special occasions.
