Well, hello again, fellow treasure hunters! We are so excited to dive back into our favorite Collingwood export…. Blue Mountain Pottery! If you’ve been following along, you know we’ve already chatted about the history of the ski hill and the secrets of that famous "drip" effect. But today, we’re getting into the really fun stuff…. the colors!
Whether you’re a seasoned collector of vintage collectibles or you’re just starting to browse our online collectible auctions, knowing your glazes is the secret to finding those hidden gems.
Blue Mountain isn't just about the green! They experimented with some truly awesome, special, and eclectic finishes over the years….
The Signature: Blue-Green (Teal)
Vibrant blue/green over dark underglaze. This is the classic signature look and the heart of the company since the 1950s.
Such a great example of that classic teal drip look we all know and love….
The Earth Tones: Mocha and Harvest Gold
Mocha: Soft, earthy brown.
Harvest Gold: Warm golden-yellow with darker drips.
These warm, earthy glazes are cozy, collectible, and just plain fun to spot….
The Cool & Metallic: Cobalt Blue and Pewter
Cobalt Blue: Rich deep blue.
Pewter: Metallic gray-to-silver.
Here’s a cool look at one of BMP’s most famous shapes, which looks incredible in almost any of their special finishes….
The Bold and The Rare: Red & White / Red Flambé
Rare vibrant reds.
This bold little beauty really shows off BMP’s rarer, more artistic side….
