Catherineholm, Norway Mid-Century Cobalt Blue Lotus Pattern 8" d Enamelware Bowl candlesnuff The legend of the Pied

The legend of the Pied Piper originated  in the Middle Ages

with the expectation that it be handed down from one generation to the next--and definitely it's seen a few generations already But if just keeping for yourself

I really love this hare with its tall ears

and small metal hanger on the back

Very good vintage condition

Catherineholm, Norway Mid-Century Cobalt Blue Lotus Pattern 8" d Enamelware Bowl candlesnuff The legend of the PiedI've had a few Catherineholm bowls and can never get good photos of them the reflective enameled surface softens the edges and makes them just sort of glow, so it's a bit hard to see the surface clearly. 8" in diameter and just shy of 3 1 2" t. This one has certainly seen a good amount of use, with overall surface wear and and some fading of the white lotus pattern such that it shows a soft pale blue, which I like. But only very minor enamel loss
