Description: This is for a set of two Franciscan Earthenware 5 3/8" Berry Bowls in their iconic IVY pattern featured in I Love Lucy. These all have the TV Screen Backstamp dated from 1967. Five are marked 2-67, the other marked 31-67. The numbers before the dash are the decorator number. These bowls are SHINY!!!! You can see in the photos just how much of a gloss they retain after decades of..well, probably not decades of USE based on the awesome shape these are in. Decades of display? or being packed up? At any rate, no cracks, no chips. Very little evidence these were ever used. A few utensil marks here and there--light and hard to see. Maybe they were pulled out once or twice. Everyone has high hopes for entertaining when they first build a set of china but so often it is just a wish of building community over a dining table, but too difficult to make happen in real life. I digress. These are in great shape. You know how easy it is to find cracks and stained and chipped Franciscan Ivy. These will make you smile! And fit in perfectly with a vintage 1960's set of barely used IVY. Quantity discount for purchases of multiple pairs. Three pairs available. Shipping goes up by $1.25 for each additional set. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE How I Assess Vintage Pieces Please note that my written descriptions are more than just a one line list of the dimensions. AND they are not AI-generated! I want the Buyer to know exactly what they are getting, so I strive to identify all flaws—even minor ones—in the photos and descriptions. Vintage items typically have light signs of usage: utensil marks, diminished shine to the glaze, scratches on the design, chips, crazing, and cracks. The situations mentioned above are exactly what I examine each item for, under a bright light and with glasses on, as I am listing it. I don’t use the word “excellent” unless there is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, zero utensil marks, no signs of past use and no muting of colors or glaze sheen…so I rarely use the word “excellent” for a vintage item.

At any given moment I have 100+ items not listed yet! I focus on mid-century modern plate sets, serving pieces, barware, glassware, stemware, vases, and art. You can find me under AstridWaxwing09 on various platforms. I love reuniting orphan glassware with its pattern family! Franciscan, Noritake, Lenox, Stangl, Salem, California potteries, Dorothy Thorpe, McCoy, Hazel Atlas, Fire King, Anchor Hocking, Pyrex, and Corning Ware/Corelle are some of the brands I seek out and educate myself about. I’m drawn to kitchenware because kitchen is the heart of the home. The ritual of choosing a plate pattern when getting married is one of the first choices an engaged couple makes together. This is when they decide what image of “successful adulthood” they want to portray to their friends and family. Often the bride had more control over these choices—but so much less control about most everything else. Women are still fighting for control over their bodies, education, careers, and destiny. It may seem odd to look backwards at dishes and bowls from the 1920’s-1970’s to be inspired about women’s rights but I am aware on a daily basis that any opportunity or privilege I have today was made possible by women who came before me—intelligent women like my mother who may have not been legally able to have her own checking account or attend certain universities, but still took action to shape a better future.
