The Kalo Shop made more kinds of bowls than any other holloware it produced. (To see Kalo marks for 184 different style of bowls click here.) One of Kalo's trademark objects was its "Lotus" model 5811 bowl shown to the left. With its lovely convex, tulip-like lobes that tapered in at the top and were decorated with heavy curved applied wire, and its small wide self-foot, this object became a classic Arts & Crafts icon. Kalo produced this in different sizes, and in slightly different variations, for almost all its 70 years.
In an early catalog, Kalo offered baby bowls, fern bowls, sugar bowls, strawberry bowls, soup bowls, oat meal bowls, fruit bowls, punch bowls, and violet bowls. The bowls and dishes below served many different functions -- some were for ice, or caviar, or bread, or fruit, or mayonnaise or flowers. But some were probably just lovely decorative all-purpose objects.
Kalo also made very large bowls that were are all very heavy, and impressive. You can see an interesting selection of large-scale Kalo bowls here.
