Marcrest Swiss Alpine Stetson 9 Inch Serving Bowl 1960s Blue Floral

This Marcrest Swiss Alpine 9 inch serving bowl is likely 1960s American ceramic dinnerware with the Stetson China, Marcrest-associated eagle mark, decorated with blue flowers, deep blue leaves, and green accents. There are no chips, cracks, or food stains, and the glossy cream surface and blue rim are bright, with fine glaze crazing on the underside near the backstamp, as the photos show. Swiss Alpine dinnerware brought simple blue and green folk-style designs to everyday American tables in the mid century years. This wide, shallow bowl suits a matching table setting or a kitchen shelf.
