    This may have been hanging on the back of a chuck wagon or perhaps in a home with less than modern plumbing in the 1920s. The bowl is is 14" wide and 6" deep and that doesn't count the handles or the base. Looks to be the perfect size for washing dishes.
    This is the largest piece of graniteware in my collection. Do not see too many this large and in this good condition.

      Fort -- Do you kinda live a bit of a Pioneer Life? I mean do you use any of your vintage items in home?

      I would, just not a Wash Board for washing clothes....LOL

      Thank you very much antiquerose. I use as many of them as possible. Most just sit around looking pretty. The washboard I do not use, don't have the time to be a proper pioneer.

      Thomas I am not quite sure where to start but here goes. Graniteware is supposed to be a speckled version of Enamelware although it seems that all the various mottled and swirl patterns are called Graniteware these days.
      Enamelware/Graniteware are pretty much the same as the porcelain signs. It is a glasslike covering. Always look for the chips which will point out it is enamelware etc. It does not fade in the sunlight.
      Here is a post I made to tell the difference between vintage graniteware and the new stuff made in China.

      Any more questions or points to clarify feel free to ask.

      I remember my grandma was using very similar granite ware in the 70s and 80s.

      Thomas let me know if you need more info. I was thinking of doing a post to show the difference between enamelware and graniteware.
