Sue - The Gypsy Trail line came out in 1935 with Plain, Reed, and Cheveron. In 1939 they added Fondoso. The little covered bowls you have are what was called Gypsy Trail Hostess Ware. While not part of any of the sets, they were made to complement the four sets of dishes and were produced in the same colors as the dishes. As part of this series Bell Kogan designed five fruit shaped cookie jars. The yellow in the Gypsy trail line did have a tenancy to stain and craze and I don't know anything that will remove this stain or I would clean mine.
