Vintage Art Deco Yellowware Small Mixing Bowl

While this yellowware mixing bowl is a classic of American utility, its art deco influence is what makes it a standout piece for collectors. The geometric "paneled" or "curtain" design on the exterior is a signature hallmark of the Art Deco movement, which favored clean, vertical lines and symmetrical repeating patterns over the ornate flourishes of earlier eras.

The tiered, architectural quality of the embossed panels gives the bowl a sense of structured elegance, typical of the 1930s and 40s when industrial designers began applying high-art principles to everyday kitchen objects. This fusion of form and function allows the piece to bridge the gap between rustic farmhouse utility and sophisticated vintage decor. Its sturdy, squared-off rim further reinforces this streamlined aesthetic, ensuring it remains as visually compelling today as it was nearly a century ago.

The base is clearly marked with an impressed "MADE IN USA" stamp, identifying it as an authentic piece of domestic pottery, likely from the mid-20th century. The bowl is in excellent vintage condition, showing minimal surface wear and an attractive, light speckled patina on the interior that only adds to its historical character. With no visible cracks or structural repairs, this robust stoneware piece is a perfect addition for collectors of McCoy, Robinson Ransbottom, or general Ohio-valley pottery, as well as anyone looking to add a touch of rustic, "Cottagecore" charm to their modern kitchen.

We try our best to describe items accurately and disclose any and all flaws and imperfections. Please refer to pictures as a visual description.
