Vintage 40’s Knowles 5 1/4” Fruit Bowls Fernwood Pattern Set Of 6

Description

Vintage Knowles Fruiit Bowls 5 1/4”
The green leafy pattern, known as Fernwood, was designed by Virginia Hamill (1898-1980), one of the first American women to work in the industrial design field. It was made in October 1949 and features two sets of fern swags against an ivory background full of delicate crazing. Virginia was involved in all aspects of the domestic design industry including market research, where she conducted fieldwork that determined style trends based on colors, shapes and imagery that most appealed to midcentury women.
Ferns are ideal dishware imagery since they signify sincerity, fascination and confidence - three fitting attributes when it comes to presenting food and entertaining friends.
