Circa 1938 to 1942: It's the number four Fiesta nesting bowl that really starts to take on some size. By the time you reach the number seven your at 11" wide, but the #4 is your classic sized kitchen bowl, perfect for almost any task and with the great high walls that are unique to the fiestaware design, spill proof and great for mixing. Clay body was pressed into a mold and the inside rings were made by hand tooling on a jiggering machine. This example in the original turquoise is in excellent condition without damage of any kind. Please note one side shows some glaze variation in the making (shown in the 7th photo). The important thing is the fabulous, damage free condition, no dings on the rim, no scratches, nothing but the great expanse of the brilliant bright blue that collectors love. Marked on the bottom in the mold with the embressed "HLC fiesta MADE IN USA" and the glaze stamp "GENUINE fiesta HLCo USA". It is far more common than one would think to find vintage fiesta bowls double marked. Measures 7 11/16" w x 5 1/16h"
