Description: Cereal Bowls are scarce. These are 7″ cereals. As with all early Canton bowls they are very attractive in their primitive painting. They range in diameter from 7 1/8″ to 7 3/8″ and from 1 1/4″ to 1 3/8″ high. The 3 cereals pictured are a representative sample. All have glazed bottoms and are heavier and sturdier than later bowls with straight-line borders.
