1958 was the Year!

I held off on doing this blog because I wanted to photograph these bowls together.  I acquired two promotional pieces from the year 1958.  The larger of the two is the "Embroidery" pattern.  It is a white on turquoise 2.5 Quart Cinderella Bowl (443). It is missing its original lid and cradle but was a steal for $7.50.  I couldn't pass it up. The second of the promotional items is part of a set as well.  It is the 1.5 Pint Cinderella Bowl (441) in the "Balloons" pattern.  This would have been the dip bowl that would have gone along with a large chip bowl.  Both bowls would have been mounted together with a bracket.  It is kitschy with its antique hot air balloons.  As well as the faces on the sun and moon.  I couldn't pass it up.  I ended up paying a little more for it then I wanted....
