This is the Oval Serving Bowl from the Boots and Saddle’s line of Westward Ho pieces made by Wallace China in Los Angelos, California and designed by western artist, Till Goodan.

Wallace China used different backstamps over the years, but if a piece has a Wallace China backstamp, it is indeed vintage. Wallace China backstamps won't be found after 1964, when its parent company, Shenango liquidated the company. The original Wallace Westward Ho pieces are not to be confused with the new True West remakes which will have a True West backstamp. Long story short, the original Westward Ho lines by Wallace China were produced from the 40’s up until the early 60’s.

Wallace China can be found with multiple backstamps, this set features both the traditional grey backstamp and the teal blue backstamp. This serving bowl has the teal blue back stamp and we believe the date code reads B-4. Meaning this exact bowl was made in May of 1960 according to Wallace’s production records.

This serving bowl measures 12” across and 9.5” wide and is in pristine condition! No damages, chips or cracks.

***Please note, on top of being highly valuable and collectable, these are heavy and fragile pieces. Shipping may look steep but that is to ensure this piece arrives to you safe and sound.
