These are the coffee mugs and saucers from the collection of Westward Ho pieces made by Wallace China in Los Angelos, California and designed by western artist, Till Goodan. The Westward Ho collection includes the Boots and Saddle line like what we currently have.

Wallace China used different backstamps over the years, but if a piece has a Wallace backstamp, it is indeed vintage. Wallace China backstamps won't be found after 1964, when its parent company, Shenango liquidated the company. The original Wallace Westward Ho pieces are not to be confused with the new True West remakes which will have a True West backstamp. Long story short, the original Westward Ho lines by Wallace China were produced from the 40’s up until the early 60’s.

These mugs and saucers are for sale individually. Wallace China can be found with multiple backstamps, this set features both the traditional grey backstamp and the teal blue backstamp. We will give you the option to choose between specific backstamps. The teal blue stamped pieces are also a darker tan.

There are four mugs with grey backstamps and date codes of “7-O” and
”11-K” meaning these exact plates were made in March of 1945 and September of 1941 respectively, according to Wallace’s production records. There is also one teal blue backstamped mug however the date code is unreadable (manufacture error). (From what we have noticed, the blue backstamps were mostly used from 1959 until 1964 when the company shut down altogether).

There are 2 saucers with teal blue backstamps with what appears to be date codes of “B-10” (December of 1960) and 3 grey back stamped saucers date coded “6-R” (April of 1956).

The mugs measure 3” tall and 3.25” in diameter and the saucers are 6” in diameter. All are in amazing condition with exception to some light scuffs here and there and maybe some crazing on the bottom.

***Please note, on top of being highly valuable and collectable, these are heavy and fragile pieces. Shipping may look steep but that is to ensure this piece arrives to you safe and sound.
