Vintage Fiesta Large Salad Bowl 11' in Turquoise HARD TO FIND

No chips or cracks. Little spotty in the bottom. Bowl is in fantastic shape. Not a common piece of Fiesta ware at all.  

VINTAGE FIESTA 11" FRUIT BOWL 

The large, shallow "fruit" bowl was originally designed as part of the Kitchen Kraft  line.  Referred to as the "salad nappie" by designer and creator Frederick Rhead, it is  envisioned as a salad bowl, to be used with the kitchen kraft fork and spoon.  Ultimately  though it was released in Fiesta colors and not Oven Serve. Remnants of  the Kitchen  Kraft line remain though in the pair of incised rings just under the  outside lip.
