I am happy to present a vintage and excellent Pomona 9 inch bowl featuring the Grimwoods Peach and six different Pomona fruits, including a Hazel Nut, around the inside edge. In addition, the outside also has two sets each of the rare Wilmots Early Red and Queen of Sheba Gooseberries.

The bowl is in excellent condition with few, if any, signs of use. It is about as nice as can be. Please see a full description and photos of the colorful fruits below.


The center fruit, Grimwoods Peach, is and original fruit and is still in production.

The inside edge features six fruit motifs, all retired, including the very rare Hazel Nut and Wilmot's Early Red Gooseberry, Pippin Apple, L'Imperatrice Plum with original black accents, and Biggerraux Cherry.

The bottom carries the original brown ID mark used from 1982 until 1985. You can get a good idea of the placement of the Gooseberry motifs in this photo.

This bowl is especially nice because it has two sets each of the very long ago discontinued Gooseberry fruits around the outside. It is unusual to find the Gooseberries on all but the oldest Pomona salad bowls.
