Collectible from Victoria’s Aunt Collection This beautiful handmade small berry bowl is a piece of history from the MacKenzie-Childs era when Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs owned and designed at the factory in Aurora up until 2001. Currently, this pattern and shape is not in production and has been retired for some time, so this piece is collectible.
Has very old, Early VRMC logo stamped on bottom before they had any date stamps. Has old potters stamp of a triangle next to logo on bottom.
These small bowls sold as berry bowls, ice cream bowls, even as a soap dish.
The pattern, Heather, is the name of Victoria and Richard’s daughter who reminded Victoria and Richard to remember the purity, grace, love and playful perfection of the child in all. From The Story Behind The Patterns Heather was part of the Taylor Series.
Taylor Series pottery, when starting at room temperature, can be used in the microwave and oven. It is best to place a dish in a cool oven. Placing cool dishes in a hot oven can cause the glaze to crack over time. Oven temperature should not exceed 375°F. We do not recommend using any pieces that are cracked or chipped.
These glazed ceramic pieces are dishwasher safe, but hand-washing and drying with soap and water will extend the life and lustre of the finish.
ALL of my M-C items unless stated otherwise, were hand-painted and made from the period when Victoria and Richard were owners and worked at the factory in Aurora, NY.
