Vintage Sterling Restaurant Ware Deep Sugar Bowls circa 1951 - Set of Two wild flowers of america Purple as the night{HISTORY} Made in 1951 by Sterling China in East Liverpool, Ohio, this pair of vintage restaurantware dishes features a deep bowl shape and a rolled rim, a style that originally came with a rondevel shaped lid. Larger than a custard dish but smaller than a cereal bowl, these two might have been part of military dishware supply and could have served sugar in proportions enough to accommodate a large crowd or a busy mess hall. Very interesting in size
