This vintage china bowl is from the Tivoli Hotel, located
in the town of Ancon in the former Panama Canal Zone. This
is the first generation of the Tivoli chinaware. They were
made by Royal Doulton ( England ). The bowl has a serial
number below the logo on the undeside (see the photo below).
My grandmother lived in Balboa when the Panama Canal opened
and she was a collector. of chinaware When she gave me these
bowls in the early 1960s, she told me that they were used in
the earliest days of the Tivoli Hotel. I have never seen any
other china from the Tivoli Hotel with this early design.
This bowl is in very nice condition with no chips or dings.
There is crazing lines as expected and some of these lines
appear in the photo below as a dark colored arc at the base
This bowl has a green Tivoli logo and a gold rim with a
floral pattern around the perimeter of the outer edge. Most of the plates that I sell are vintage. It should be
expected that these items will have some sort of wear or
patina unless listed as "mint". Flaws created during the
manufacturing may not be mentioned as these are part of the
character of vintage or antique items. These flaws may,
however, be mentioned if they cause a structural defect
affecting the items integrity. I do provide large photos of
each item so that you can see the condition. Thank you for
your interest in this item.
