Gripstand Mixing Bowl

This is a Gripstand mixing bowl made by the British pottery company T.G. Green Ltd, which operated out of Church Gresley, England, between 1864 and 2007. The Gripstand bowl is a classic piece of English kitchenware, patented in 1906. Its design features: A wedge-shaped flat section on the base, allowing the bowl to be tilted and held at an angle while mixing or whisking without it slipping. An embossed pattern on the exterior, which helps improve grip. The material is a heavy, durable pottery known as 'Pressed Yellow Ware'. The specific backstamp on your bowl, which includes "GRIPSTAND" and "T.G. Green Ltd CHURCH GRESLEY MADE IN ENGLAND", can help date the item. The T.G. Green archives indicate that this type of stamp was in use from the 1930s to the 1950s. The number "9 3/4" (or "9s" / "24s" in other size variants) indicates the approximate diameter of the bowl in inches or a size code in a range.
