Harker Pottery Co White Rose (Blue) Carv-Kraft 9" Oval Serving Bowl, Made in USA

Description

The Harker Pottery Co., of East Liverpool, Ohio and later Chester, West Virginia, is commonly called the, "Oldest Pottery in America." It was started in a log cabin in 1840 by Benjamin Harker and remained on its original site for ninety-one years (it closed in 1972). This oval serving bowl is from Harker's "White Rose" line of dinnerware sold exclusively through the Montgomery Ward chain of department stores in 1940s (I've seen an old Montgomery Ward ad from 1941 advertising the "White Rose" line, but I'm not sure when they stopped carrying it). This oval serving bowl measures 9" long by 6 3/4" wide by 2" tall and is in excellent used condition, it has no chips, cracks or stains, but is does have all-over crazing (see 5th photo-use zoom).
