Vintage Czechoslovakian Bowl for Thursday Show and Tell

 
Dear readers, welcome to my dining room.
It's Thursday..... and I have another show and tell to share with you.
 
 
Just look how the finish reflects images of my dining room chairs.
 
 
After hours of searching, I discovered it was made in Czechoslovakia by the Gebruder Benedikt Factory between 1925-1939. At first I was looking for a "B T" mark. As it turns out, you are looking at "Made by GB"
 
 
I often wonder how something so fragile, as this porcelain pearl lustreware bowl, could survive so many years without a nick on the rim. The gold trim is a little worn, but other wise it is in good condition.

  3. Amazing it has no chips. I have pieces less aged with definite chips. 'Course that may say more about my care. Thanks for the visit to my site.
