Manufacturer: Bovano, Cheshire, CT
Produced by the Cheshire CT firm of Bovano (started in 1953 by John BOnsignor, Gene VAn Leight and Warren NOden), this 8 inch wide tricorner shape bowl stands 3/4 inch high and features a pattern I have named Gumdrops. Four large deep orange jewels are the motif. It is unusual for Bovano to have both background and jewels be of the same color family, here two shades of orange. Most work was done in contrasting colors. There is some shading to a darker orange near the rim. The bowl is in good condition with no chips to the rim or enamel loss but there are some stress cracks on this piece, so I would label it good condition but not excellent. It certainly remains a practical utilitarian piece of decorative Mid-Century enamel ware.

The back is done in the standard black Bovano counterenameling. The remnant of both the paper label and the three felt protective pads can still be seen but they are no longer there. Add some of your own, easy to do.
