Antique Alphabet Baby Bowl D.E. McNicol East Liverpool Ohio, no chips!

The Jack and Jill Nursery Rhyme piece is in excellent condition, remarkable for its age, with no chips or cracks—just some crazing and light scratches. The image of Jack and Jill remains vibrant, and the alphabets are well-preserved. It's an Antique Alphabet Baby Bowl from D.E. McNicol in East Liverpool, Ohio, a company that began in 1892 and operated there until the 1920s before relocating to Clarksburg, West Virginia. It's a splendid example of how our forebears infused children's everyday items with educational value. ABC plates and mugs served a dual purpose: they were vessels for food and tools for learning, engaging children with their alphabets as they dined and played.
