Dating to the 1860s, the piece features a classic Japanese-inspired motif beloved by English potteries of the era, with lavish highlights and stylized floral cartouches dancing across the bowl’s interior and exterior. Attributed to William Brownfield and Sons.

The elegant pedestal base is richly ornamented to match, creating a harmonious silhouette perfect for display as a centerpiece or on a sideboard. Crazing consistent with age adds to the character and charm of this heirloom-quality piece.

Beautifully suited to traditional, chinoiserie, eclectic, or maximalist decor. Would pair wonderfully with Spode, Mason’s Ironstone, or antique Royal Crown Derby.
