UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.

GEORGE WILKINSON, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO THE GORHAM MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

DESIGN FOR A BOWL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Design No. 21,755, dated August 2, 1892.

Application filed March 28, 1892l Serial No. 426,824. Term of patent 7 years.

To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE WILKINSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, haveinvented and produced a new and original Design for the Bowls of Tea Sets; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My design consists in the peculiar and novel shape and ornamentation of the bowl, which forms the lower and most important part of the several articles usually associated together to forni a tea set. In these articles I preserve the usual conventional form by which they are distinguished from each other, as the coffee-pot, the tea-pot, hot-water pot, the cream-bowl, sugar-bowl, and the slop or remnant bowl, and give to the bowl the peculiar and novel shape and ornamentation.

Figure l is a perspective view of my newlydesigned bowl in solid lines, the conventional upper portion of a teapotbeing shown in broken lines in connection with the bowl. Fig. 2 is a top view of the newly-designed bowl.

The leading feature of my design consists in the shape of the bowl, which at its greatest diameter has the form of four projecting convex ovals separated by concaved surfaces, the longer axis of all the ovals being on a horizontal plane, and in the peculiar and novel ornamentation of the convex ovals more fully set forth hereinafter.

The bowl in vertical outline connects with the base 7 by the contracted concave lower portion 8. From this contracted portion the bowl curves outward and upward until it reaches the greatest width at the point 9. From this point the bowl is curved inward until the convex surface intersects with the concave surface l0. The outward projection of the convex surface of the bowl at 9 is greatest at four points equidistant from each other on a, horizontal plane passing through the greatest width of the bowl and is least at four points on this horizonal plane, also equidistant from each other, forming the concave surfaces 1l between the convex oval surfaces 9, giving the bowl the appearance of four projecting oval convex bulbs. These oval convex surfaces are ornamented by two foliated scrolls l2. Starting from the central leaves 13 and surrounding each a bunch of flowers 14, an open flower projects downward from the central leaves 13, the general outline of the foliated scrolls 12 forming the main features of the ornamentation, corresponding with the shape of the oval convex surfaces 9.

What I claim is- The design for the bowl,herein shown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

GEORGE WILKINSON.
