Vintage 1930's Cattail Serving Bowl with Lid- Universal Pottery
Vintage 1930's Cattail Serving Bowl with Lid by the Universal Pottery Co.
These were among the most popular patterns of the 1930s. They were inexpensive, everyday dishes sold by Sears, Roebuck & Co. or Montgomery Ward, or they were given as premiums at grocery stores or movie theaters. Buy enough groceries and you got a free plate. Extra pieces like platters and tureens could be purchased for just a few dollars.
One of the most popular patterns was Cattail, which was sold by Sears from 1934 to 1956. The simple white dishes have a red-and-black cattail design in the center. The dinnerware was made by Universal Potteries of Cambridge, Ohio. Matching tinware, kitchenware, glassware, even furniture and table linens were made by others.
It is 4 1/4" tall with lid and 9 1/2" width. There are 2 chips in the lid however, the bowl is perfect with no chips or cracks.
