Pretty Mid-Size Serving Bowl, White with Inky Blue Decoration antique tin toy though on the kitchen bar

though on the kitchen bar or breakfast table it would be pretty great too

perhaps in part because of the fabulous nature of the platypus itself

and quills

Nothing fussy about this hand-painted vintage sign

I'd guess the box dates to the first quarter of the 20th century

Pretty Mid-Size Serving Bowl, White with Inky Blue Decoration antique tin toy though on the kitchen barThis is a great everyday bowl perfect for serving veggies, grains or salads, and for keeping on the kitchen counter the rest of the time holding fruit or whatever else (really pretty filled with lemons, oranges or avocados!) The surface decoration is what makes it special a bright white slip animated with these great inky blue, calligraphic marks around the exterior and then intensified all over the interior. Pretty, cheerful, and hospitable feeling.
