This love is the rose that blooms forever. Rumi

{HISTORY}

Debuting in 1936, these pink and green floral berry bowls were made in Pennsylvania by Cannonsburg Pottery. Featuring their Hostess shape - a scalloped edge rimmed with gold and ice pink roses with a wisp of moss thrown in, look like just the bouquet you would clip from your garden in the early morning hours of the day.  

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.

Roses were no foreigner to Canonsburg's long list of pretty dish designs, they made a plethora of gorgeous patterns throughout their time in business. Pink roses appeared in Canonburg's library of patterns in almost every decade throughout the 20th century. There was this Rose Bouquet pattern in the 1930s,  Tea Rose in the 1950s and Royal Rose in the 1960s, just to name a few. An indication that the classic rose motif never fell out of favor, it's such a lovely feminine choice for cottage, shabby chic and country farmhouse decor.

And as far as the functionality of berry bowls go, we can't sing their praises enough. So useful for all sorts of purposes from kitchen prep to serving, they are essentials in the kitchen that you'll reach for time and time again.
