Finished in a cerise pink iridescent lustre glaze, the surface displays a shifting spectrum of tones that respond subtly to light, emphasising both depth and curvature. The form is restrained and modernist in character, with a gently rounded, circular profile and a low, open bowl shape. This simplicity allows the vivid lustre finish to take precedence, while the proportions lend themselves equally to functional and decorative use, such as a fruit bowl or table centrepiece. The porcelain body is fully glazed, with the interior and exterior unified by the same lustrous treatment. The underside retains the maker’s mark for Devon Lustre Fieldings, confirming its Staffordshire origin.

Condition is good for age and use. There is visible fading and wear to the lustre glaze, most notably to the interior centre, along with some surface wear to the exterior glaze. These signs of age are consistent with use and the material, and the piece remains visually strong and well-presented. Dimensions: Height 7.5 cm (2.95 in); Diameter 24 cm (9.45 in). This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
