I need some help identifying a maker of a plastic bowl.

It's a cereal bowl from the late 50's or early 60's, my Mom gave it to me, she's had it since then but can't remember where she got it.
It's thick plastic, I put a pen next to it to show the size.

1. Unless there are markings, it could be very tough to identify through photographs only.

Possibly, going to a knowledgeable dealer in vintage goods might help identify the source and maker.

2. It might be a bowl from Branchell Company's "Color-Flyte" line of Melmac dinnerware

Although the link above provides a link to photos of the dinnerware (along with a history of the company), here's a better link where you can view a close-up of the items in that dinnerware set:

3. Is it a solid color or splotchy?

Looks like vintage Melamine or Melmac but narrowing down the finish might help. If the bowl is splotchy, they used to call that "Confetti Ware".
