PORTMEIRION POMONA 8 INCH WIDE OPEN BOWL - DRUM SHAPE - RARE FRUITS
Lots Of Retired Fruits and Wilmots Gooseberry!

I am happy to present an excellent Pomona 8 inch wide bowl featuring six different fruits. Included are The Red Currant, Pippin Apple, Wilmots Gooseberry, L'Imperatrice Plum, Biggerraux Cherry, and Hoary Morning Apple around the outside. The newer bowls seem to always come with a lid. However, I have had several of older drum shape bowls like this and none has had a lid.

The bowl is very nice condition with no crazing and only a very few and very minor signs of use. Please look below to see a full description and lots of photos of the colorful fruits.

All of the Pomona fruits are part of the original set and are retired except for the Hoary Morning Apple.

Condition Button
Size About 8" across the top (with some overhang), 3-1/2 high and about 6-1/2" across the raised bottom foot
Transfer All are bright and colorful with no flaws or damage
Ground Very white
Glaze Perfect, shiny with no flaws or crazing
Chips/Cracks None
Stains None, except for a slight bit of shelf wear on the bottom unglazed ring where it sits on a surface. Please see the photo below.
Use Marks I see a few VERY tiny silver marks on the upper rim. They are caused by another ceramic rubbing against it.

In a very bright light, I also see a pin head sized indentation in the glaze that is a pale tan.

Otherwise, there are NO signs of use like silver lines, stains, major scratches, or glaze pops.
Other Comments A very nice and useful Pomona bowl featuring lots of hard to find discontinued fruits!

The bowl carries a brown color round Pomona Goddess Of Fruit ID mark. This ornate backstamp was used from about 1982 until 1985.
