A three-piece mid-century California pottery serving set produced by Treasure Craft of Compton, California, circa 1960s. Founded by Alfred A. Levin in 1945, Treasure Craft gained prominence for pioneering "faux bois" ceramic tableware—combining the rustic, organic texture of turned wood with the waterproof durability of fired earthenware.
This grouping includes one large master serving bowl (incised mark 613-A USA) and two matching individual bowls (incised mark 613-B USA). Each piece features a deeply textured, matte wood-grain exterior that extends across the underside of the foot ring, contrasted against a high-gloss tangerine-orange reactive interior glaze. Yellow-gold and burnt-amber mineral pooling radiates from the center of each bowl, creating a bold, citrus-inspired sunburst motif characteristic of 1960s California modern design.
Well-suited for casual entertaining—such as serving blue corn tortilla chips alongside guacamole and pineapple jalapeño salsa (the recipe for the pineapple jalapeño salsa shown can be found in the 1995 edition of the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook).
Dimensions:
Master Bowl (613-A): Approx. 11" Diameter x 3.5" – 4" H
Individual Bowls (613-B): Approx. 5.5" – 6" Diameter x 2" – 2.25" H
