Functional object - Enamel bowl, Unknown
This vintage large bowl was probably used for washing dishes or small items of clothing. From the 1860's - 1930's various companies called their enamelware products by their own unique names, e.g. graniteware and agateware. The enamel coating put an end to metallic tasting food and prevented rust from contaminating food. It did scratch and chip easily.A badly damaged vintage large pale blue round enamel bowl, possibly used for washing dishes.enamel, domestic equipment, washing dishes, bowls -
