Challinor, Taylor and Company

Glass covered bowl with a purple marble color. The bowl is sitting on a short pedestal base. The body of the bowl has vertical ridges. A decorative pattern is etched into the glass on the bowl's body near the top and bottom. The lid of the bowl is also ridged and has a small knob on top. The knob is octagonal in shape. The background of the image is gray. The bowl appears to be sitting on a surface that is lighter than the background.
