Question:
I have 2 serving bowls with the Iris painted on it and one bowl that is rectangular and is divided. All are in quite good condition. Can you give me a guesstimate to the value? Or, if there is a collector looking for these pieces, please let me know. Thanks! Linda

Answer: Iris is a popular pattern with collectors but values can be hard to pin down. I’ve seen Iris sell for very good prices at some auctions, but other sales not so much. Goes to show you need to have at least two interested bidders to drive up the price.

The divided vegetable dish is worth $25-40. Iris bowls were made in several sizes and no dimensions were provided for these bowls. Comparing to the divided veg dish, these are probably 8.5 inch nappy bowls and the value for each of them is $20-30. All values assume excellent, undamaged condition.
