It also has a center floral medallion in the bottom of the bowl. The centers of the white flowers are yellow. This pattern was produced for the Sears Stores and sold under the Harmony House brand. The background color of the bowl is Hall's white. This bowl has gold trim on the rim, pedestal and handles. Those handles are elegantly molded in a scroll shape.
CONDITION: The condition of this bowl is superb. We can find no defects or damage. There are no chips, nicks, cracks, scratches or hairlines. Please refer to the photos to see how classically beautiful this is. (We are very picky Hall collectors and find the condition of this item very acceptable to us--We just don't have the Fairfax pattern in our collection!)

HISTORY/MARKS: When the East Liverpool Potteries Company was dissolved in 1903, Robert Hall, one of the principals, formed Hall China Company. After his untimely death in 1904, his young son, Robert Taggert Hall took over and made it his mission to rediscover the long lost process from the Ming Dynasty of producing a non-lead based glazed china using a single fire process. He succeeded by 1911 creating the craze-proof finish for which Hall China became famous for over 100 years. Hall China remained in
the extended Hall family until they were sold to Homer Laughlin China
Company across the river in Newell, West Virginia, the manufacturer of
Fiesta. Hall China is not in production today as their operating kilns
have been moved to Newell and most of the original facility on Anna
Avenue is being demolished. The mark on the bottom of the bowl states Manufactured by The Hall China Company & gives the patent numbers. Margaret & Kenn Whitmyer show this pattern in their book, Collector's Encyclopedia of Hall China, 3rd edition. Production for this pattern was limited to 1950's and was used on a limited number of pieces.
