    Hello everyone - I've always loved this color trim but never have known quite what to call it. The item is a shallow bowl. 1 1/4" high and about 7 3/4" across. No markings of any kind. First time I've ever found a piece in decent shape. Does anyone know what this decoration would be called and an approximate age of production? Thanks much!

    Thank you, Martin! I'm surprised it's that old. Really looks almost brand new!
