Cherished for their charm and durable utility, Yellowware bowls were staples in 19th- and early-20th-century kitchens. They remain useful and affordable today.
Potteries throughout the United States produced pressed, molded, or thrown mixing and serving bowls. These 3" to 18" diameter nesting bowls were clear-glazed to emphasize the natural pale yellow to dark mustard clay. Bowls were often decorated with bands.
Here's a picture of my newest acquisition, which joins a Yellowware pie plate I found several years ago, and my collection of yellow and gold Pyrex bowls.
