Mammy Fox's Poppy Bowl



Mammy Fox's Poppy Bowl

Grandma Pearl's Mother named Ida Fox was my Great Grandma. My mother Betty gave me this bowl to "keep" (more like sacred)...it is from early 1900's. There is an iridescent glaze to it..unbelievable how vivid the colors are, after all these years, on the poppy design.

Real BlackBird Pie Steamers, vintage 1940's, perch in front of the bowl.

Opalescent pedestal vase--milkglass--1930's or 40's found at an estate sale.
