VINTAGE JOHN B. TAYLOR HAND PAINTED FRUIT BOWL • Mid Century USA Pottery • 1950s Tri-Lobed Studio Bowl

A beautifully hand-painted John B. Taylor (JBT) studio bowl from the 1950s–60s. This mid-century stoneware line is known for organic forms, soft fruit motifs, and warm, artisan-made charm — and this piece is a perfect example.

The bowl features JBT’s classic tri-lobed shape, a hand-brushed green border, and a peach-and-grape fruit design at the center. The underside carries the JBT blue ink studio mark.

✨ Note: There is a small white area within the fruit design — this is part of the original hand painting, not a chip or flaw. (See photo.)
