[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 10323808, member: 649"]We frequently have people inquiring here about their hobbyist-painted items, do you have any? I'm showing off a petite berry bowl set I purchased in 2004 from a little antique shop in the wilds of mid-Michigan. Trudy was kind enough to sign her work, I just wish she had dated it, too! I love how each little set of strawberries on each item is unique. The large bowl is 6 inches/15 cm in diameter and the small bowls are 3.25 inches/8.5 cm in diameter. I'm presuming it's mid-20th century but if anyone has a better guess, do let me know. :) (EDIT: I'm just now noticing that "Trudy" on the paper label looks very like the siggie on the bottom of the bowl! I wonder if this is a little later than mid-20th...? I love it, nonetheless! I do recall when I purchased it that the store clerk said Trudy [I]had[/I] been a local woman and she'd passed away "some time ago".)
