Vintage Cape Cod Massachusetts Souvenir Map Bowl

This item is a circular, shallow decorative bowl or deep-dish plate serving as a regional souvenir for Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It is constructed from a dark, likely matte-finished wood or a polymer composite designed to mimic a rustic bark-edged appearance, featuring a scalloped rim. The interior is finished in a deep black glaze that serves as a high-contrast backdrop for the silk-screened or decal graphics. The central design includes a cartographic outline of Cape Cod with various town names and landmarks labeled in gold-tone script. The decoration is enhanced with colorful illustrations, including a vibrant cluster of pink wild roses with green leaves at the top, a line-art depiction of a Pilgrim on the left, and a historic sailing ship (Mayflower style) above the 'Cape Cod' text. The gold lettering and outlines show some minor fading and micro-scratches consistent with a mid-20th-century age (circa 1950s–1970s). The piece appears to be in good vintage condition with no major cracks or chips visible on the rim, though there is general surface wear and some light dust accumulation in the crevices of the scalloped edge. This type of folk-art inspired souvenir was popular in the Atlantic Northeast and often produced by companies such as 'Multi-Products Inc.' or similar giftware manufacturers of that era.
