circa 1930s-50s

It's more of a decorative object than a useable one at this point though

it looks quite crisp and bright

Hand-painted Porcelain Bowling Pin Dish with "A Record Breaker" Bowler fine wooden object circa 1930s-50sA pretty fun and curious dish, and one that would certainly make a great gift for a champion bowler and maybe also for a fan of the Big Lebowski, as I think this cigar smoking character bears a fairly close resemblance to John Goodman! Perhaps it is actually Kegel (German 9 pin bowling) that he is playing, as the dish was made in Germany, but often one sees porcelain manufactured in one country and decorated in another, which I assume was the case
