These next bowls are Pyrex from the 30's-60's They usually come in sets of 3 or 5.
This is a clear glass with flower garland. I placed an aluminum bowl inside just to make the pattern easier to see.
The next picture is of a 1930-40's covered bowl. I also have a larger, matching, covered bowl, but the pattern isn't as clear.
These bowls were so love worn that the manufaturing lable is no longer clear. It does say oven-proof, made in the U.S.A., and it's the Calico Fruit pattern.
This hand-painted porcelain grape motif bowl was a gift. It has no marking, I'm not sure it's date..my guess from color and paint....early 1900's? I just love the warm colors.
My final photo is of my Blenko Glass fruit bowl.
It still sports it's original tag.
And is filled with 1940's wax fruit.As with all serial collectors, a collection is never complete. Ever changing patterns, kalidescope of colors, shapes, and forms, keep the search ongoing. That's the fun of vintage collecting.
Now I am posting this Vintage Alphabet in conjuction with my friends over at Etsy Cottage Style Blog.

Just gorgeous! Love your collection
*hugs*deb
I love your bowls. I have been dug out the second time since Friday, but I got told to stay home from work. This weather sure doesn't help business. At least our neighbor, whoever parked in his own driveway. Saturday there was one that was in our driveway. The snow was over the top of my snow boots. At least it is giving me some time to catch up with my blogging and etsy friends. I am sharing my computer with my son so sometimes it makes it late when I get to post. He is sleeping right now which he needs. Take care. I hope you don't get the snow. Your Missouri Friend
Love your bowls. I also love bowls and have a great collection. I display many of my vintage collections in them.
Have to think of something good B so that I can join in!!

Melody, that grape bowl is awesome!
It is most likely German or Austrian, pre WW2. Thanks for sharing all your lovely vintage!
Such lovely things to see!
So many pretty things and I couldn't choose a favorite if I tried. I love bowls and can never get enough of them. I am playing this week, but I need to get my head wrapped around all the possibilities......love it, Char
Hey Melody!
That's quite a collection, just lovely!
I wish I had more room to display some of my pretty bowls, but sadly most of them are behind closed doors.
One day I'll have a big kitchen with open shelving. :-)
off to check out some other B collections...

What a fabulous collection!~~~XXOO, Beth
WOW, what a wonderful collection of vintage bowls!
Thank you for stopping by! Are my mom's bowls Pyrex? I don't know anything about them. Cool! Do you know about how old they are? I was born in '54 and I can remember these bowls from when I was a child.
((Hugs))
Thank you so much, Melody, for all the info.
Duh, why didn't I think to look on the bottom, LOL, which I just did and there are no markings.
I suspect she probably bought these more than likely sometime in the 40s (she and my dad married in the mid-30's at the young age of16).
I'll have to ask one of my sisters and see if they remember.
I really have never given much thought to these until blogging!
((Hugs))

Hi again!
Wow, what a treasure you have in that bowl!! If only it could TALK!
Yes, the pattern on the bowl is raised and it's kind of "grainy" not smooth :)
((Hugs))
I had a friend who had that same exact aluminum bowl hanging over the fireplace in her Victorian kitchen. I always envied her for that item! And, now I envy you, too!
You have a very nice collection of bowls!
That morning glory bowl is fabulous!
Hi: I have not forgotten about the Vintage Alphabet. I promise to get my act together and join. Please do not give up on me. I get over whelmed with all the things I need to do and just forget. I love your bowl collections. I have an aluminum plate very similar to yours. I will have to show it to you. When I can no longer find a place for it, I know where it needs to go. Blessings, Martha
Hey Melody! We thought those groovy glasses would make great votives as well (great minds...!!)
Love all of your bowls. I don't think I've really ever seen aluminum ones - that was VERY interesting! I LOVE the grape bowl - I've got a thing for fruit plates & bowls!!
Have a super week :)
