The Making of Liberty Blue

The Benjamin Franklin Federal Savings bank, established in 1925, commissioned the Enoch Wedgwood Company to make  special dinnerware to commemorate their 50 year anniversary.  The result was Liberty Blue, made exclusively for the bank between 1975 & 1976. There are 15 Historic Colonial Scenes of the period which coincided with the American BiCentennial in 1976. New Account holders who made a $50 deposit,  were offered a four piece place setting.Additional pieces were available for purchase.  In 1977 they offered additionally a special 20” turkey platter free to those who deposited $5,000. This beautiful ironstone blue and white dinnerware set was available exclusively until 1977, when the bank ended the promotion.  Liberty Blue was then available at national grocery stores on a limited basis or on order from the Sigma Marketing Company in New Jersey. Customers were also able to buy a few pieces with their regular grocery purchases as part of supermarket promotions.
