This is the blue and white bowl that started my collection. It measures 12" across, and it's pretty heavy. I found it many years ago and thought that it would fit into our home nicely. It used to sit in the center of our entertainment unit, with the burgundy wall seen behind it.
It's decorated inside as well as outside in a shell motif.
Here's where it's placed in our rental. I'm not sure just where it'll end up in our new home, but I am sure that we'll have it on display.

Sally that is a charming bowl! I do have a thing for bowls.Happy blue monday.
Good morning Sally. Thanks for your comments while I was gone. I did manage to visit a few people while at my daughter's home. Today I have lots of catching up to do.
I do not know if Andy Rooney said that email but I did like what it said too.
Your bowl is beautiful. The shells inside make it different. Lovely, and it is so nice you brought it with you to make your rental feel like home. I did the same thing when we lived in a rental when one of our new homes was built. It was furnished but I brought my hutch with me.
Have a wonderful day.
Hugs, Jeanne
Very nice blue bowl collection...Mine is also up.
That is beautiful! I wondered what started it all.
Good morning Sally, I have posted about my granddaughter winning many ribbons at her horse show this past Saturday...
I love your Blue and White bowl, anything this color combination is great!!!Have a fun day. hugs, Baba
Very pretty...I love the pattern.
Sally, what lovely things you have. Once you get moved and all your things in place, your home will be a real show place. I love the bowl.
Good morning Sally, Your bowl is beautiful! I love blue and white pottery. It's just lovely. I din't have any blue this week to show but I did post a Halloween blog Party. I think there is some blue in there some where. I don't know if it counts though.
What a pretty piece, Sally. I love all the shells inside too...Christine
What a lovely piece. Have a happy Monday.
Very pretty blue shells on that lovely bowl.
Christi
That's very pretty. I can't wait to see your new, decorated home!

What a beautiful bowl! When I first discovered your blog and linky party a couple weeks ago I thought I would have nothing to link to. BUT...looking through my posts I see I have more blue than I thought I did in my home. Ha! Thanks for helping me see this...
Janell
Oh I love the bowl. It is just so pretty. I like that it is decorated on the inside too, very unique and stunning. I can't wait to see it in your new home. Hugs, Marty

Gorgeous bowls and I love anything with seashells, reminds me of summers at the beach.........Thanks for posting!
What a lovely bowl! I love all blue and white china but the design and shade of blue on this piece is wonderful. I hope you are having a great Blue Monday.
Gorgeous bowls, Sally... You have the prettiest 'blue' stuff... I'd love to see your new home --with all of your goodies in it (once you get settled).
Hugs,
Betsy
A very pretty bowl worthy of display!
What a pretty bowl! Thanks for sharing and happy Blue Monday!
Wow, what a beautiful big bowl Sally. I wonder if it is heavy too. I like the designs and it sure add beauty to your new home.
...and I love your blue pictures too...with smiling....~~♥~~Luna from Vienna
O, I love this beautiful bowl, Sweet Sally.
I just can't wait to see what color your walls will be in the new house...and the colors you will decorate with.
So so fun...
I have my next Blue Monday post all ready...(grands...wouldn't ya know!!)
xo bj
I like the print on the inside too. Reminds me very much of Florida, which shouldn't surprise me too much. :)
Very pretty! I love blue dishes.
I love your blue bowl. I am sure it will have a special spot. Thanks for hosting this fun meme.
Thanks for taking time to comment on my "baby blues." These are the Baby Grands. The little blond guy belongs to our oldest son and looks just like he did. And the little olive skinned baby belongs to our youngest son, and he looked just like that at that age. So fun watching our boys raise their boys!!
Blessings.
Sally, it is so unique and pretty. You are going to have so much fun deciding where to put your treasures in the new house! I can't wait! laurie
What a beautiful bowl... I could see it holding all kinds of lovely things... especially sea glass.
Have a wonderful week.
Such a sweetly beautiful piece Sally. I love it...I can see how it holds a special place in your home.
I promise to become a part of Blue Monday soon...it is one *party* I so adore as Blue is my favorite color and I always have it around me in some fashion!
Love,
Sue
Sally, Didn't post on Blue Monday today, but I wanted to drop by and say hello and say wow.....what a gorgeous bowl with the sea shells and all. Very Pretty.
Barbara
