How about inviting the charm of neo-Victorian slip to your tables?

Originating in the late 19th century in the United Kingdom, this decorative basin, featuring three putti in the round holding a bowl with a speaking frieze, is made of glossy, crackled polychrome slip in shades of cobalt blue, beige, honey yellow, brown, red, and ivory white.

This small decorative masterpiece in English earthenware perfectly illustrates the expertise and refinement of British ceramic artisans of this period. As beautiful as it is useful, this basin can be integrated into a European slip collection or complement your tableware, sitting in the center of your table or on a console table to hold your fruit and appetizers.

Although it bears no distinct mark indicating its affiliation with the Minton faience factory, its style and glaze quality are closely related, remaining in the Minton style.
