Nested Yellow Ware Bowls – Blue & White stripes
Another lovely set of vintage yellow ware bowls with double blue stripes, 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 two bowls in this group. The largest is the number 9, which measures 9 inches across and is slightly more than 5 inches tall. The 9 is in very good condition with only minor wear and the normal crazing effect that comes from the aging of the glaze. Its cousin is the number 8 and as you likely have guessed, it measures 8 inches across and stands just over 4 and 1/2 inches tall. The bowl is a perfect match to the 9, but does have a Y shaped, hairline crack in the bottom. The crack has likely been there for decades and should not cause a problem when the bowl is used, but it needed to be mentioned. Other than the hairline, the 8 is lovely and makes a perfect companion piece to the 9.
Together these 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. |
