Pottery bowl - similar design to Belleek
« on: September 22, 2011, 03:38:13 am »
I wonder if someone might be able to help me identify this lovely bowl

It was a design similar to Belleek but I have contacted two auctioneers and the Belleek collectors club who all confirmed it is not

One auctioneer recommended 19th century staffordshire

What do you think?

many thanks in advance









It is approx 17 inches in length

    What a cool Center Bowl, Without markings it will be hard to pinpoint the actual maker and cir.  I assume it is Bone china, and being where you are very possible a Staffordshire piece, but really does not look like a 19th century piece by design, would be a bit out of place in a victorian setting, but still possible.

Looks 20th century in form and design to me !!  This freeform design became popular mid 1900`s but like ironlord said,,,anything is possible !!

Thank you both - it is a lovely piece isn't it. I could imagine this on a wonderful big wooden table filled with fruit.

Bone china is probably correct too

I'll go with 20th century. I can label as circa 20th century, possibly staffordshire. I've never seen one like it so I am sure it will find a good home
