I found one of these in the peachy color today. I love the old pottery made in the USA. This is a good example of Mid-century 1950's dinnerware. I think that these bowls were made for individual servings of salad or fruit They might be used for cereal or dessert too. I think that the blue color was most common, because when I researched on the internet I found many photos and information on the blue ones. Well, my addition was a small expense, 50 cents. The weather forecast is 27 F and expecting a little snow. This is definitely going to kill the garden.
