Blue Star is 36 pieces of blue-glazed ceramic built on the same tooling Yanco uses for its Noble Black pattern — the rectangular plate ladder, the dessert plates, the bowl series and the handled bake plates are shared shapes in a different glaze. What Blue Star adds on top is the part worth knowing: a coffee cup and saucer, a round bake plate, a Mediterranean pasta bowl, a handled skillet bowl and a three-size leaf plate. What it drops is the oval plate range. If you are choosing between the two, that is the trade.
What's in the Blue Star line
- Coupe round plates — 7.125", 9.125", 10.5" and 12.125".
- Round plates with upright rim — 7.5", 8.25", 10.25" and 12.5".
- Rectangular plates — 12" x 6.5", 13.75" x 5", 14.25" x 7.5" and 15.875" x 5.5".
- Leaf-shape plates — 10.25" x 5", 14.25" x 8.5" and 16.5" x 7.625".
- Bowls — two Mediterranean shapes (20 oz deep, 12 oz pasta); a 30 oz noodle bowl; salad bowls at 28 oz in two profiles; 20 oz salad/soup; 14 oz nappie; 10 oz rice and 10 oz soup; a 2 oz olive dish.
- Handled pieces — round bake plate 20 oz, square bake plates 25 and 70 oz, skillet bowl 22 oz.
- Small and beverage — two dessert plates, three sauce dishes, an 8 oz coffee cup and a saucer.
The handled pieces
Four items in this pattern have a cast handle, which is more than any other Yanco color-glazed line carries. The Yanco BL-907 Round Bake Plate (20 oz, 7.5" x 5.75") is the small gratin shape; the Yanco BL-910 Square Bake Plate (25 oz) and Yanco BL-912 Square Bake Plate (70 oz, 13.75" x 7") step up to a shared course. The Yanco BL-4105 Skillet Bowl (22 oz) is deeper-walled than the bake plates and sized for a single hot appetizer. All four go from the oven straight onto the table, and the handle is what makes that practical on a busy pass.
Two Mediterranean bowls, two depths
Blue Star carries a pair of elongated bowls that most patterns in this family do not. The Yanco BL-711 Deep Mediterranean Bowl (20 oz, 11.125" x 7" x 3.25") is the tall one, for a braise or a shared mezze; the Yanco BL-710 Mediterranean Pasta Bowl (12 oz, 10.75" x 7" x 2.25") covers almost the same footprint at an inch less depth and 8 oz less volume, which is the difference between a soup presentation and a plated pasta. The rest of the bowl bench runs on the BL-808 Noodle Bowl (30 oz), BL-807 Salad Bowl (28 oz), BL-609 Salad/Pasta Bowl (28 oz), BL-608 Salad/Soup Bowl (20 oz), BL-806 Nappie Bowl (14 oz), BL-805 Rice Bowl (10 oz), BL-804 Soup Bowl (10 oz) and the small BL-703 Olive Bowl (2 oz).
Plates
The leaf plates are the most photographed shape in the line: BL-310 (10.25" x 5"), BL-314 (14.25" x 8.5") and BL-316 (16.5" x 7.625"). Rectangles come in two proportions — the narrow BL-513 (13.75" x 5") and BL-515 (15.875" x 5.5") for a row of appetizers, and the broader BL-512 (12" x 6.5") and BL-514 (14.25" x 7.5") for a full plated entrée.
Round plates come with either rim treatment. Coupe: BL-107 (7.125"), BL-109 (9.125"), BL-110 (10.5") and BL-112 (12.125"). Upright rim: BL-207 (7.5"), BL-208 (8.25"), BL-210 (10.25") and BL-212 (12.5"). Dessert service uses the walled BL-610 (10 oz) and BL-611 (16 oz).
Condiments and coffee
Sauce service runs on the BL-4030 (1 oz), the deeper BL-4031 Square Sauce Dish (3.5 oz) and the twin-well BL-4032 Double Sauce Dish (1.5 oz each). The BL-001 Coffee Cup (8 oz) and its BL-002 Saucer (6" x 4.75") give this pattern a proper cup service — the one thing its closest sibling pattern lacks.

Blue Star is one of several single-color glazed patterns in the full Yanco range that use this body. The Green Gem collection is the green version and swaps the handled pieces for square sheer bowls and a rectangular bowl ladder. Note that Yanco's other blue chinaware, the Iris Blue collection, is a different body altogether — coupe ovals and deep ovals rather than rectangles and leaf plates — so the two do not mix on a table.
