Condition: Good
Manufacturer: American Made Antique Pottery
A wonderful set of vintage yellow ware bowls with double blue stripe that are faintly accented with white. The bowls date back to the early 1900’s, perhaps even before that, but are in very nice condition, with the rich, yellow color they were named for. There are three bowls in this grouping. I tried to show the numbers on the bottom of each, but the small bowl, a number five, was stubborn. The 5 is there, but for some reason hard to photograph. One of the harder to find sizes, this small number five measures 5 inches across the top and stands 2 and 3/4 inches high. The bowl is nearly perfect other than some light wear marks and the classic crazing of the glaze.
The next in line is a number seven bowl of the same era and pattern and likely the same maker and household. It measures 7 inches across and stands nearly 4 inches high. This bowl has a bit more wear than the its smaller cousin. The bottom is chipped in quite a number of places, but there are no cracks and other than an air bubble in the bottom, which has been there since the bowl was made, this old piece is in fine, usable condition.
The third and final bowl in this group is a number 8. As you probably already know, it measures 8 inches across and stands 4 and 1/2 inches high. Again this bowl is of the same pattern and style, but has a slightly darker colored background, likely caused in the firing of the clay. It is not very noticeable at all and probably would not ever be picked out except for the nearly perfect match in color between the other two bowls. The 8 is also in very good usable condition with no cracks and very few chips.
Together these three bowls make a lovely set that would be a highlight in anyone’s kitchen. Not only are they old, beautiful and still able to do the job they were designed to do, these bowls, like all quality antiques are also a very good investment.
