Dan yube is the correct pronunciation. A River (the Danube) runs thru Germany , Austria and several other countries. The Blue Danube is also a wonderful song written by Strauss and generally danced to in a waltz,😁

[@66uniqueantiques]

Gives me something to look up this afternoon Thanks! 🙂

[@annbardue3473]

Indeed! And if you listen to that waltz, you might just have to swan around the house!😉

[@66uniqueantiques]

😂😂😂 my family I'm sure would enjoy that 🤨

[@shepherdbella]

Exactly!! the River is called DONAU in German 🎯🤩

[@normaferro8054]

'Danube = DAN - Yube. Like the river. There is also a famous classical song called 'Blue Danube' by Johann Strauss.

[@66uniqueantiques]

Hope you got the jackpot

[@biggerock]

"Watteau" is pronounced "Watt-OH". Watteau was a French artist of the 18th century. His paintings portrayed idealized and romanticized rural life. Look up some of his paintings, they're pretty nice.

[@66uniqueantiques]

I will do so Carl! Always looking to educate myself on new items

[@deechick2321]

Excellent video! Thank you! Would like to get at least one special piece of flow blue. I'll know it when I see it..❣ Always learning...cant wait for the razor category! 😁

[@66uniqueantiques]

Thanks Dee! Glandypu enjoyed the video

[@patbarrientos1369]

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. You’re a breath of fresh air in comparison to other resellers who rely on popularity, personality, and youth and seek the same items over and over. They can’t read a marking and just shrug it off. Thanks!

[@66uniqueantiques]

I've always looked at it as the more you know about everything the better! I learn something new everyday

[@helenbailey8419]

Had never realised the history.I liked the Spinach and Hops too.Thank-you.So interesting.

[@66uniqueantiques]

Thanks for watching Helen!

[@colleenbremner7117]

I have 2 la belle plates. You are right, I have always loved them most. I was also given blue onion plates by Adam's from th 1800's by my parents. The China is almost translucent it is so fine. That adds to their beauty. Colleen

[@66uniqueantiques]

Flow Blue has so many amazing pieces out there! Sounds like you have a few 🙂

[@66uniqueantiques]

Couldn't agree more 🙂🙂

[@jean6061]

I discovered some flow blue pieces in a lot of Blue Willow china purchased for $21. That was like icing on the cake! I love it!

[@66uniqueantiques]

Awesome Find!

[@nancyjahn4224]

Thank you so much very helpful!

[@66uniqueantiques]

Glad it helped!

[@alanatolstad4824]

That stuff is pretty pricey when I see it in the antique shops I've visited over the years. And the dealer who has it for sale, usually puts it on display on the wall...lovely artistry!---See ya at the end of the month, when I get back from North Dakota.

[@66uniqueantiques]

Ok great! Have safe travels

[@gomezaddams6470]

I was looking at a channel that has mostly jewelry. Suddenly there's a few pieces of this type of China. It had a footnote that one piece is not an exact match. There was a lid missing there were chips cracks and everything but bullet holes and it was close to $10,000 for just a few pieces? There was only one plate and it was severely broken. I love this stuff but I don't like it that much. I remember my mother saying that it would come in the boxes of oatmeal like many other dish patterns did or maybe it was grits or cornmeal. I just know a lot of the dishes in our little cabin in the family came out of food.

[@66uniqueantiques]

Thanks for the insight 🙂🙂

[@kathrynmiddleton9250]

I have a six piece set . Had no idea they were wroth anything. We use them every day. Lol I will be heading out to buy some new stuff. So I can put these a side to sell. Lol

[@66uniqueantiques]

Depending on the pattern you might have a gem

[@bent21161]

so funny thing, my last little purchase was the "delft" repro. of the classic wall coffee grinder..(real ones just a little bit out of range)..even tho' not flow blue, my thought is its possible that its where orignal inspiration came from..

[@66uniqueantiques]

Interesting... I'd have to do more research

[@alanchan412]

What is the flow blue category about 'Mason's Patent Ironstone China Flow Blue "Dragon"' ? This one is selling on eBay recently.

[@rhondagentry2170]

Would like to see Delft blue from Netherlands. Also, would like to see Mosser Glass.

[@66uniqueantiques]

I'll add it to the list

[@khill6197]

My grandmother had blue willow china. Is that very collectable? I still have some special pieces. 💖

[@66uniqueantiques]

Some pieces are just depends on what you have

[@kimberlydrake8654]

Hi...I have never heard of this! Once again I learned something new today! I have blue/white pieces says made in England but I do not recognize these pieces....I know there are many blue/white pieces out there...what are the ones made in England that were keepers...lol...thank you for sharing 😊kim

[@66uniqueantiques]

Thanks for watching Kimberly! I also learned quite a bit more from just the extra research I had to do! Interesting product for sure

[@thomascabral8443]

[@66uniqueantiques]

Hopefully you have some gems on your hands

[@msmarigold4647]

Can you do a video about modern wedgewood china

[@66uniqueantiques]

I'll add it to the list 🙂

[@christinemanning6461]

I found some flow blue at a yard sale. It’s more of a pattern, no flowers just a design. I like them but I will not collect them cause I collect another USA pattern.

[@66uniqueantiques]

To each there own 🙂

[@sharon4364]

Danube is pronounced Danyoob, no e sound on the end. (Like the Blue Danube waltz).

[@66uniqueantiques]

[@frankperez4861]

[@robertwilcox4482]

[@Articolate]

Adding to the pronunciation list, "non-pariel" is def one of the weirder French spellings, from an Eng. language POV 😅 In French, is "𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻-𝗣𝗮𝗵-𝗿𝗮𝘆" ("known," like s/thing is known or unknown). kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqu1hWqnmbhla9E Means unmatched, or unequaled. Or - an easier memory device: unparalleled... 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳 😉

[@66uniqueantiques]

Appreciate the info! Thanks for watching

[@celiad6012]

That would be non pareil = without equal
