Console Bowls
Introduction: Console Bowls and Sets were quite popular during the 1940's and 1950's. Many of
these bowls and sets graced the dining tables and buffets of our mothers and
grandmothers. Gonder produced a wide variety of these covering many motifs of
the day. Some bowls may have served as planters, but many were used for fruit
or flowers. For this category, I've included bowls that have companion
candle holders and bowls that would less likely to be used as a planter.
Items were likely retailed as separates, so finding bowls without candle holders is common. Finding a complete set - bowls and candle holders - will warrant a small premium in price.

Lines of Wares: Console Bowls and
Sets span several lines of wares - Standard, Imperial and Original.
Marks: Nearly all bowls are marked. However, candle holders may not be marked on the bottom due to limited space.
Availability: Most console bowls are readily available. There are of course several that remain hard to find. The iconic #221 Mermaid Bowl is one such piece. Only a handful of those are known to exist.
Glaze Treatments: Console Bowls and Sets were produced in many of the glazes used at Gonder. You will find these in glazes that were commonly used for that line of ware.
