Vocabulary
Green, footed bowl or green footed bowl
Which way would be better to describe a bowl in an inventory list
Top answer
If only the foot is green, then 'green-footed' is called for; if the bowl is all green, then 'green, footed' would be more clear; 'green footed' hovers on the marge. 'Footed green' would be much better (if it is all green), and avoids the comma and the hyphen both.

green footed bowl would imply that the feet of the bowl were green. green, footed bowl does not necessarily mean the feet are green just that the bowl is green and has feet.
