Description
Collectible from Victoria’s Aunt & Mother’s Collection This handmade breakfast bowl is a piece of history from the MacKenzie-Childs earliest beginnings 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. The bowl is 8 1/2″ across the top and stands 2″ high. Bowl has very old, Early VRMC logo stamped on bottom before they had any date stamps. Has old potters stamp of a plus sign & a slash in circles next to logo on bottom. This piece came out of Victoria’s Aunt’s & Mother’s collection. The pattern Aalsmeer is where Victoria’s sister and family lived in the Netherlands. While visiting the Dutch colors, the MacKenzie-Childs packed a precious box of tulips going every other way for home. From The Story Behind The Patterns Aalsmeer was part of the Taylor Series. Bowl is in nice vintage condition- some light utensil marks in center of bowl- no chips, or cracks, or crawls. Pre-owned as stated from an estate of Victoria’s Aunt & Mother. MacKenzie-Childs factory sits upon the Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes in Upstate NY that spans 50 miles long. 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.
