Does for me. My mom and aunt have identical sets of nesting bowls.
The big bowl is yellow, I think. They're ceramic. I have sternly
instructed both of the Demo Dollies that those bowls are to go NOWHERE
except my kitchen, should they decide they are no longer needed!

I have my great grandmother's rolling pin. My grandmother's peach
pitter (she used to work for the cannery industry here in NorCal). My
great aunt Marie's (RIP) cast iron skillet in which she used to make
the most scrumptious pineapple upside down cake (said CIS isn't in my
possession at the moment, but it IS mine) Actually, when I think of
it, I have most of the ancestral kitchenwares! I am blessed.
