Yellowware Bowls

I've been looking for a Yellowware bowl for over a year now, and finally turned to e-Bay for my newest search.  I found exactly what I was looking for, bid on it, and won!  Here's a little history:

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.
