Manufacturer: Texas Ware, Melmac, Dallas, Texas
These funky and highly collectibles mixing bowls were sold as a set in three sizes. They were made in Dallas, Texas by the Texas Ware Plastics & Manufacturing Company and are so marked in embossed letters on the bottom of each bowl.
Background on the line:
The largest bowl, the #125 measures 11 1/4inches across and stands 5 1/4 inches tall. The middle bowl #118 measures 9 3/4 inches across and stands 4 1/2 inches tall. The smallest bowl #111 measures 8 inches across and stands 4 inches tall.

This bowl is the Texas Ware #118 deep salmon pink base color speckled mixing bowl in fair vintage condition. Its primary inclusions are white and teal. Its secondary colors are red, chartreuse and turquoise. This is one of the deepest color pink bowls I have sold in the past three years selling them.
It has a lot of wear and knife marks in its center. The glossy finish is pretty much gone from the interior though one can turn the inside from side to side and still see some sheen but just barely. A good bowl to use and have no fear. I paid $40 for it and am passing it along to a fellow collector. I did not keep it in my collection as it has too much wear for my collecting needs. I keep six bowls of each size in my personal collection.
It would look great on a kitchen shelf as the outside has its high gloss finish still. It is a good bowl to put up on a shelf or to use so have no fear. FREE of cracks, burns OR discoloration. You will NOT be disappointed!!
Recently one has seen a Texas Ware vintage speckled Melmac bowl on the counter of Rachael Ray's TV kitchen. In fact, in late 2007, Food Network is now having produced and marketing a "Garbage Bowl" in a deep pumpkin color under the Rachael Ray name. |
