W. S. George Lug Handled Hops Pattern Bowl – Vintage, Gold Edge

Description

Up for auction is a lug-handled bowl made by W.S. George.
The decoration pictures  hops.
The backstamp is there but blurry.
This bowl measures 7 ¼ inches in diameter with the handles, 6-3/8 inches without, and weighs 9 ¼ ounces.
The condition is nice showing vintage wear - little scratches and scuffs, some roughness on the edge, and wear on the gold rim and the decoration.
There are manufacturing flaws as well - a few bumps and spots under the glaze, stray gold, and the glaze doesn’t quite go all the way to the edge in some areas.
According to my research, the W.S. George company began in 1904, had plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania, went bankrupt in 1955, and closed in 1960.
Thanks for looking!
