{HISTORY}

Brightening up the holiday table, this vintage cranberry bowl was made by Canonsburg Pottery during the 1950s.

Operating just south of Pittsburgh, PA from the early 1900s to the late 1970s, Canonsburg was founded by John George, a relative of W.S. George who was also in the dishware manufacturing business. During its 70-year run, Canonsburg always stayed on top of new innovative manufacturing techniques and design trends, which kept them at the top of the industry and at  the top of dish collectors wish lists.

This cranberry bowl features Canonburg's Lejean pattern, a pretty bouquet of roses and daffodils in shades of white, orange, pink, and green on the interior and a shimmery gold, floral filigree on the exterior.

Similar to the size of a cereal bowl, a soup bowl, or an oatmeal bowl, it offers a deep well paired with a petite size, making it especially fun for a diverse array of serving possibilities. We also love it for mix and match collecting, especially when it comes to pairing up with other bowls of similar size and shape. To illustrate that point, we photographed it along with a vintage Scio Ohio oatmeal bowl to highlight the fun floral themes that can be combined together in unique ways.

{CONDITION}

In lovely vintage condition, this bowl contains no chips, cracks, spots or stains. There is the tiniest dot (pencil point size) of discoloration on the rim that is not a chip, and not a scuff, but perhaps a bit of leftover clay or transferware left behind during the manufacturing process. Both the interior transferware and the exterior filigree are bright, crisp, and clear. Please see photos.
