Know before you buy
This piece shows visible crazing to the glaze, which is common for ceramic items of this age. Despite this, the bowl remains structurally sound and is free of any chips.
Yes, it is suitable for serving dry snacks like cookies, rolls, or displaying fruit. Because it is a vintage hand-painted ceramic piece, it is best used for serving rather than heavy-duty kitchen prep.
To preserve the hand-painted details and the integrity of the ceramic, this bowl must be hand washed. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the heat and detergents can damage the finish.
The bowl measures approximately 10 3/8 inches in diameter and stands 1 3/4 inches tall. Its shallow profile makes it an excellent choice for a centerpiece or a decorative table accent.
Intaglio is a handcraft technique where the design is incised or carved into the surface of the material. This gives the fruit and leaf motifs on the bowl a subtle, tactile depth that sets it apart from simple surface-printed ceramics.
