Remember that BMP (Blue Mountain Pottery) has a ‘three trees’ logo as well. So you’ll need to look at the glazes as well as the logo to determine if it is BMP or Laurentian. Once you determine if it is Laurentian rather than BMP, see if you can match it to a pattern name. This always helps in determining worth. I will say that regardless of which of the 2 potteries made your pieces, you still came out way ahead. You can split the set up and sell by the pieces, which will probably net you more money, or keep the pieces and start your own Canadian pottery collection. Have fun with it.

I just found a whole set of the “Three Trees” at a Salvation Army. I have like 30 plates, 8 coffee mugs, a creamer, a butter tray, salt and paper shaker, and more. I paid 10 bucks FOR ALL… They don’t all have the three trees but many do, I want to know if these are worth anything. Any ideas where to look?
