Jamie Robinson adds...Metlox had their version of the
Everpopular Peachblossom, when WARDS wanted to sell a simiular product
they named it PEACHTREE, the main difference in the two are:
The Peachblossom has a pure white background (non-speckled), and then
when they produced a "Simiular" pattern for WARDS, it was basically the
same pattern "BUT", they changed the background color to a Pink/Tawny
Brown color and added somewhat "Heavy" speckling to the background. And
then they have their "OWN" version of the "Peachblossom". Most
generally markings are different also, but I don't have exact markings
to show. but mostly say s in "BLOCK" letter "MADE IN CALIFORNIA".
