Shape: Bowl shaped edges - A great shape for holding juicy meats, vegetable garnishes and saucy dishes.

Materials: Semi Porcelain which proved to be a great material for dinnerware because it looked like china but was as tough as ironstone.

Condition. EXCELLENT. No breaks, cracks chips or repairs. Some porcelain dimples in the bowl. High gloss glaze has scuffs and crazing discolorations underneath.

Condition Details: Overall the item EXCELLENT condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature show normal wear to finish and miscellaneous scratches, nicks, and dings due to age and use. We define 'very good condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see best 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include minor nicks or dings but would NOT include chips, cracks or restoration of any glass, porcelain or ceramic item.
