Crazy Daisy Bowl Appraisal

Vintage Pyrex 'Promenade' (Crazy Daisy / Gold Medallion) Mixing Bowl

This item is a vintage Pyrex Mixing Bowl, part of the 'Promenade' pattern, also affectionately known as 'Crazy Daisy' or 'Gold Medallion' by collectors. It is constructed from opal white milk glass, characteristic of Pyrex bakeware and dinnerware during its prominent manufacturing years. The bowl features a vibrant mustard yellow or gold colored screened-on pattern encircling its exterior, just below the rim. The pattern consists of alternating solid yellow squares and white squares with a yellow border. Within some of the yellow squares and all of the white squares, there is a stylized, four-lobed floral or starburst motif, often resembling a daisy or flower. This motif is either white against the yellow background or yellow against the white background, creating an intricate checkerboard effect. The design is a classic example of mid-century aesthetics, likely dating from the late 1950s to early 1970s. The surface appears to have some minor wear or light scratches, particularly on the yellow screened-on design, indicated by the fainter appearance or slight loss of color in some areas. The structural integrity of the glass appears intact, with no visible chips or cracks from the provided image. The rim is smooth and slightly flared. The overall craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced Pyrex, known for its durability and heat-resistant qualities. The 'Anchor Hocking USA' context provided in the prompt suggests this bowl was manufactured in the United States, likely by Anchor Hocking or a subsidiary, which produced similar glass items.
