NORTHEAST. Home Decor / Kitchen Decor, Decorative Dish, Souvenir, c. 1960s.
Featuring the U.S.S. Constitution in its center, this attractive bowl was made in Japan to serve as a souvenir of a visit to historic Boston, Massachusetts. The condition is generally good, the worst wear being to the caption for the Swan Boats Public Garden in Boston Commons. And it is clear this is because mostly right-handed people have been picking it up. Many admirers’ thumbs have rubbed the blue lettering to the fading point. And there’s so much to be appreciated here, from the lovely floral scrolling around “Old Ironsides” to images of Beantown’s iconic cultural, historical, and civic sites. The dish is a hexagonal shape, and each of its six sides has a destination point shown in striking blue tones. Aside from the ones already mentioned, there is the Bunker Hill Monument, the State House, Paul Revere’s House, the Prudential Center, and Faneuil Hall. For decoration only—do not use for clam chowder no matter how tempting.
Condition: Used Very Good. Local / Regional Areas. Dimensions: 6” diameter x 1.25” deep / 7 oz
