Wedgwood History: Established
in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood in Tunstall, England the Staffordshire
region. Makers of exceptional decorative and tableware items over
the years and still in business at this date.
Dimensions: Approximately: 8
3/4 " L
Condition: Good, well used antique,
some flaws: chip to under-rim of bowl (approx. 1/4"). This
shows from the bottom, but not from the top, although you can feel it if
you run your finger along the edge. All over crazing, some small knife
knicks to center of bowl. Gold marks and some small blue ink spots
to the back side of bowl, none on the front. A portion of one of the five
roses on the front is faded out. This still a beautiful antique
English bowl to cherish for years to come (see pictures).
This would be a charming antique item to use
and display. |
