Just in time for Sunday’s anniversary viewing of Deadwood The Movie, the complete set of Blue Willow dishes used in the show I’ve previously mentioned. These are an exact match, in every detail, to those which were used on-screen.
The first cup arrived and the second cup is on the way. An exact match to Swearengen’s sugar bowl and creamer have been found and should arrive just in time for the anniversary viewing of the movie.
In Deadwood’s penultimate episode, “The Catbird Seat”, tragic events unfold and Swearengen hides Alma in his office as they await Bullock’s return to camp. It looks like I’ll also need to add a creamer and sugar bowl to have the set.

Another reason for wanting this cup is because my Grandmother had a complete set of Blue Willow dishes on which she’d serve Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners many decades ago.
