This listing is for one vintage Franciscan Ware covered vegetable bowl with two handles, handpainted in the apple pattern in California in 1951. The bowl is approx 9 1/2 inches wide (including the handles) and 4+ inches high.
On the bottom, it says "Hand Decorated." In a circular design, "Franciscan Ware," and within the circular design "Made in California U.S.A." These are the markings of a mid-century Franciscan Ware piece.
This vegetable bowl was part of my mother's original collection that she purchased in 1951. It was never used as a serving piece. It is in excellent vintage condition. In the photo there is a fine line of red paint to the left of the handle which is under the glaze. The piece came with this mark. In the photo, I also notice some areas of discoloration on the bottom of the bowl and around the apple handle on the lid. These areas are more noticeable in the photo, than when I look at the piece in my home. I am not sure, but my guess is that they are age-related, because there are no cracks, chips, crackling, or signs of repair on the piece.
This is a rare piece with the markings indicating that it is 50+ years old. A replacement Franciscan Ware bowl of this type costs $59.00.
