  • This is the same bowl that is used for the base of the 70-oz. covered casserole (0495).  NOTE: Therefore, you will find Apricot bowls for sale as mixing bowls.  They were the base to the covered casserole and lost it’s lid.

  • HLC announced in December 2013 that this item would not be available in Black, White, and Plum.
  • Like before, these bowls were produced in limited quantities as the base for the 70 oz. covered casserole (0495).
  • Sometime in late 2017 or early 2018 HLC brought back these bowls and they are an exclusive to their retail outlet stores and website. 
  • August 2024 FTC announced that they were “retiring” this piece in all colors. I’m not sure if future colors will still become available as an exclusive to FTC retail outlets and website or not.  Time will tell.

Mixing Bowl Backstamps - Post 86 Reference Guide
  • Occasionally you will find a “double backstamp” as illustrated to the left (right). This is when there is an embossed or incised backstamp and then an ink stamp applied as well to the piece. This does not change the value of the piece.
  • The illustration to the right shows how nicely the three different size mixing bowls nest within each other.
