This wonderful piece has the picture of an Elephant mother giving it's baby a bath. These were considered utilitarian and learning tools for young adults at the turn of the 20th century. The decoration on the inside of the bowl says, For a good boy, and the slogan, Baby Jumbo Loves His Tub, Doesn't Care How Hard You Scrub. I believe this refers to the popular circus animal of the late 1800's. About 9 1/2 inches wide and about 1 1/2 inches tall. Marked in green on the back, Three Crown China Germany. Three Crown China is a
mark introduced by Unger & Schilde of Roschuetz, Thuringia, Germany.
It was specific to items imported and distributed by Jon H. Roth
(trademark 'Jonroth') from South Bend, Indiana between 1909 and 1916. No chips or cracks.
