This late 1800s early 1900 yellowware bowl is an adorable small size, measuring 5 3/8 inches diameter and 2 3/4 inches high, and features a rolled rim and foot. It is decorated with two narrow creamy slip bands, flanked by a brown band above and below, set against a mustard yellow background.

Bowl is in very nice condition, with a shiny glaze inside and out, with just a slight loss to the sheen on the interior bottom. There are two tight hairlines on the rim on opposite sides. One measures 1 1/2 inches on the inside, but only 1 inch on the outside. The other measures 1/2 inch on the inside and does not go through to the outside. The interior of the bowl, near the bottom, has two curved craze lines that extend around one half of the bowl. One line stops near where the other begins. There is overall crazing, common to these bowls and noticed only when looking closely. Have tried to point out all faults, no matter now minor, but this is really a beautiful sound bowl, with a shiny glaze and fabulous style!

We have also listed two other similar bowls that were being used with this as a nested set. The coloring of the bands on this and the 9 inch bowl are identical, and the 10 1/4 inch bowl is a lighter shade of brown.
