Description
C-19061
Set of five small porcelain berry or dessert bowls featuring a hand-painted floral motif of pink peony blossoms with soft green foliage against a bright white ground. Each bowl presents a gently scalloped rim finished with heavy gilt edging that creates strong contrast and warmth around the floral centers. The peony decoration shows subtle tonal shading and fine line detailing, with small rosebud accents completing the composition. The bowls carry a classic parlor-era aesthetic, balancing romantic floral imagery with bold gold application. The scalloped edges provide dimensional movement, while the compact size makes them ideal for berries, nuts, sauces, or small dessert service. The gold rims exhibit an intentionally irregular, painterly edge consistent with hand-applied gilding from the period.
Condition is good antique condition with visible wear to the gilt rims, particularly along high points. Minor surface marks consistent with age and use. No major cracks or structural damage observed.
5.5" Diam. each
