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.
