Vintage Scio Ohio R-5 Oatmeal Bowl with Pink and Blue Flowers circa 1940s leon franks Not altogether unusual{HISTORY} A favorite style of bowl from a one of America's most favorite potteries, this small graduated striped bowl was made in the 1940s by Scio Ohio Pottery Co in Scio, OH. Officially known as the R 5, this beloved shape and size was often used for morning oatmeal at the breakfast table. Slightly smaller than a traditional cereal bowl, it's also a great size bowl for soup, snacks, and food prep, as well as for use as a small mixing bowl.
