Featuring a classic "Palm Beach" aesthetic, the bowl is defined by its vibrant turquoise-blue glazed interior and a heavily textured, "orange peel" exterior.
The exterior showcases a relief-molded sky-blue ribbon that culminates in a prominent, hand-painted bow. Beneath the ribbon, a whimsical garden of daisies and wheat stalks in shades of cobalt, sunshine yellow, and crisp white wraps around the body and the flared pedestal base. The rim and base are finished with a hand-painted brown rope-twist border, adding a touch of rustic sophistication.
With its diminutive 5-inch height, this piece is perfectly scaled for use as a "jewel box" accent on a vanity, a soap dish in a luxury powder room, or a candy dish on a cocktail table. Its cheerful palette and botanical motifs make it an ideal addition to any Hollywood Regency or coastal-inspired interior. See less
