<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 3754650, member: 7360"]Yes, these seem to be most often classed as salad bowls, although they are still a little small for that. A bit garish for a salad bowl in my opinion, but perhaps they were used specifically for salads to accompany seafood. Bowls held up by lobsters were once enormously popular, it seems, from Victorian times onwards, although a bit bizarre to modern eyes, mine anyway. There are also a lot of two part serving bowls with a lobster down the middle, quite strange. On my bowl the paint on the lobsters is worn away on the backs of the lobsters, this bowl must have been used on many occasions, you could call it "pre-loved"![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
