| Common 9 to 10-inch diameter plain bowls were made by most of the companies. Careful inspection of the shoulder will help identify most of these bowls. The shoulders will be flat sided, thin or thick, or rounded. | |||||||||||||||||

| Both Diamond and Lancaster made "straight sided" or "45-degree" bowls. The Diamond ones are usually colored and they have a very thin, straight shoulder. The Lancaster pieces are usually crystal glass (with crystal or marigold iridescences) and they have a small rounded shoulder. | |||||||||||||||||

| The Central bowl is commonly mistaken for a Fenton or Northwood one, but the very thin, straight shoulder seam is diagnostic. The Diamond bowls have a rounded shoulder, like Northwood bowls, but the common 10-inch bowl also has an upper rim seam. | |||||||||||||||||

| Fenton bowls generally have wide, straight shoulders. The common #600 bowl can be easily mistaken for similar bowls by Northwood and Vineland. The Vineland bowl also has a wide shoulder but the depression inside the foot is quite deep. The Northwood shoulders are all rounded. | |||||||||||||||||

| All the Northwood bowls have broadly rounded shoulders. Diamond bowls can occasionally be mistaken for Northwood bowls, but the Diamond bowls are generally thicker and the top rims of the Diamond bowls have a thin seam on the outside surface. | |||||||||||||||||
