Three Bowls

These three bowls were my Grandma Wardle's.  She was my most favorite grandma in the whole world.  These bowls were in her basement and when we moved her out I asked if I could have them.  She got them inside of laundry soap as an advertising incentive to buy. My Watt Pottery collection started with these three bowls.  Since then I have collected many pitchers, mixing bowls and other pieces of this particular style, which are the most sought after and were created in the 1950's. They are hand decorated with starflowers, apples, cherries, tulips.  I've pretty much stopped now because the pottery is relatively scarce and continues to increase in value.
