So I brought it home and polished it up and then decided to look up this "Reed & Barton". Turns out Reed & Barton is a rather respectable outfit that's been operating since 1824. But I wasn't able to find anything about their enamel-lined line of ware other than a few eBay listings.
Blue #1 Blue #2 Green #1 | Red #1 Red #2 Red #3 |
So I don't know when this bowl was made or how many other items they made in this enamel line or how many colors they made, but I just love it. And I paid exactly $1.00 for it. :) Gott'a love thrift shops.
The orange & yellow vases, I found them at the thrift shop, too. The trio will make a nice addition of absolutely-useless-but-decorative knick-knacks for my kitchen, ey?

Wow, you got a fabulous buy on that piece and it looks like it's in perfect condition. I have about three cartons of silver pieces from Grandma's house that need to be polished. Wish you were here.
Yeah, it's in great condition and you can't even get a cup of coffee for a $1.
I'd polish the silver if I were there. When some friends moved into a new apartment, the brass cabinet knobs in the kitchen were all tarnished so they took them off to replace them. I said don't be silly, let me at 'em. They polished up nice!
I noticed you love color like I do!
