Description
A finely potted English delftware bowl, painted in vibrant cobalt blue with a continuous floral design of peony, tulip, and pomegranate sprays around the exterior, the interior with a central hatched diaper motif surrounded by scattered stylised blossoms and ovals, all within a double line border. The bowl stands on a narrow ring foot, the glaze showing attractive pooling and fine crackle typical of Restoration period English tin-glazed earthenware.
