Evidently, Homer Laughlin was not wrong when it came to the Angelus’ tough composition, as this baker, 120 years later, contains no chips, cracks, spots or staining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmaller than a vegetable bowl but larger than a cereal bowl, this is a fun shape for a variety of different serving and display purposes. Here In The Vintage Kitchen, we love it best for holding onions and garlic on the countertop, but it is also great for serving snacks, cookies and little nibbles like crackers, tea biscuits, fresh berries or an assortment of dips and party foods. It's also a great organizer for pantry items, a pretty holder for hand soap and lotion at the sink, and a petite display piece for narrow spaces under cupboards or above door frames.  Never underestimate the fun and function of a uniquely-sized antique bowl!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{SPECIAL FEATURES}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard-to-find dish and shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold and bright white color palette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStamped on bottom with maker's mark and shape name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e{CONDITION}\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn lovely antique condition, this baker contains no chips, cracks, spots or staining.
