These are the cereal/chili bowls from the collection of Westward Ho pieces made by Wallace China in Los Angelos, California and designed by western artist, Till Goodan. Westward Ho includes the Boots and Saddle line.

Wallace China used different backstamps over the years, but if a piece has a Wallace 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. We will give you the option to choose between specific backstamps. The teal blue stamped pieces are also a darker tan in color. The three teal blue back stamped bowls have the date code “A-10” meaning these exact bowls were made in December of 1959 according to Wallace’s production records. The six grey stamped bowls we have, are date coded “10-K” and “12-K” and were produced in December and August of 1941 respectively.

These chili bowls measure 10.5” in diameter and they are all in excellent condition! No damages, chips or cracks with exception to some light crazing on the bottom of a couple of bowls but nothing major.

***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.
