Vintage Fiesta Mixing Bowl Number 3

By the time you get to the number three vintage fiesta mixing bowl you have a pretty useful and common sized kitchen bowl, measuring 6 3/4" wide and 4 1/2" tall, this is the bowl you reach for to whisk a couple of eggs or measure out some ingredients for a small batch of biscuits. This handy size has made the number three fiesta bowl harder to find than many of the others. They were simply used and used some more and as accidents happen, many of them did not survive. It is a real treat to find a number 3 bowl in excellent condition and collectors will cherish adding them to their collections.
