NOTE:
Designed by Kenneth Beattie in 1923, the Paramount series featured a unique rectangular shape with curved lines along two sides of the edge for comfortable grip and ease in carrying. A scalloped rim with very thin embossing, a deeper well in the body, and a colorful floral pattern completed the overall aesthetic. 

Beautifully bright and bold, this dish pattern is called Spring Flowers and contains an unusual bouquet of mums, tulips, and Himalayan blue poppies. A favorite thing around a Vintage Kitchen is the use of the color orange which was so popular in dishware of the 1920s and 1930s. It is such a dynamic shade and so complementary to most food pairings as well as being a cheerful kitchen color when it comes to decoration. This covered bowl encapsulates the prettiest shades of orange in regard to the mums -  a hue that lies somewhere on the color scale between tangerine and pumpkin.
