Description

Soft-paste porcelain bowl and stand, painted in blue underglaze, and gilt, with moulded and applied decoration.

Soft-paste porcelain bowl and stand, moulded, and painted in blue underglaze, and gilt. The oval bowl has flared sides moulded with overlapping strawberry leaves and tendrils. The stand is similarly shaped with eight naturalitically moulded vine leaves forming the border. The leaves are painted in runny 'Littler's Blue', with an uncoloured vine leaf in reserve on either side of the bowl. Both pieces show traces of 'cold' (unfired) gilding.
