This offering is a Royal Gadroon covered vegetable serving bowl produced by Harker Pottery. The bowl features the “Vintage” pattern, distinguished by a decorative grapevine motif with purple grapes and green leaves encircling both the lid and bowl, and highlighted with gold and green accents on the scrolled handles. The finely scalloped rim and deep profile add to its classic appearance.
The bottom bears the Royal Gadroon backstamp, signifying Harker as the oldest pottery in America, established in 1840. The bowl measures approximately 9.5 inches across at the widest point. The lid fits securely and includes a delicately shaped handle that echoes the bowl’s ornate details.
This piece represents American ceramic craftsmanship and would be a notable addition for Harker collectors or those seeking established 20th-century tableware patterns. There is no indication of damage or repairs, preserving its original integrity.
