Just inside each rim, a braided band of linked ovals sits above a garland of ribbon bows and stylized flowers. A shallow molded scallop runs just below the outer rim, and a fine gilt line circles the body above the low foot.

Estimated late 19th to early 20th century. An impressed “ENGLAND” mark is visible on the underside, and one base also bears a small gold-colored, cross-like mark. The ivory and gilt palette pairs beautifully with plain china, antique silver, and linen.

Each bowl measures approximately 7″ wide including the handles, 4.25″ deep, and 2″ tall.

In good antique condition with visible gilding wear and loss, particularly along the rims and handles, and scattered staining. One bowl has a small spot of excess gilding just below the rim, and another has a hairline crack extending down from the rim. See less
