Vintage 1940s Hall China Mixing Bow, Red Poppy Pattern, Silver Rim

Vintage 1940s ceramic mixing bowl made by Hall China.  • Part of the Red Poppy pattern line, this ceramic mixing bowl has red and black poppies on a yellowish white background. Platinum rim. • Discontinued. Actual manufacture: 1935 - 1955 • After tepid sales of its new housewares lines in the 1910s, the company tried designing and selling decorated teapots. The teapot business was so successful that the company decided to expand it from the original three designs to a plethora of new shapes and colors. In the 1940s the teapot business began to dwindle. By the 1960s, probably due to the increased preference for coffee by the public, teapot sales had fallen to insignificance. • 7 1/2 inch diameter. 4 1/4 inches tall. • Vintage condition: There is a stain on the bowl interior (see pic). No chips or cracks. The colors are bright. Next to no silver loss on the rim.
