Antique English Porcelain Punch Bowl – EXTRA LARGE

Description

Antique English Porcelain Punch Bowl – EXTRA LARGE
Growing up with such amazing surroundings at my Grandparents home, I don’t think we had any idea of how special and rarified an atmosphere it really was. My Grandmother had these very large punch bowls or fruit bowls everywhere. She loved them!
They were like sculptures to her, and she loved their grand size. Often she would put huge plants in them. At Christmas time, they might hold poinsettia plants and at Easter, magnificent blue and pink hydrangeas.
This beautiful extra-large punch bowl dates to the late 19
th
century. It is stamped on the bottom with the company name and the number of the bowl – RaNo-215363. This beautiful bowl measures approximately 19 inches in diameter and is 10 inches high.
It is scalloped around the rim and bottom of the stand. It is hand-painted with medallions of ornate daisy design connected by a scroll border. The background color is white with sepia & rose tones connected to a magnificent wide band – both inside and out. There is a gold rim on top and bottom – with wear consistent with age. However, this magnificent bowl is in wonderful condition considering its age and use. There are no chips, cracks or repairs.
If you would value having and using this huge bowl in your own home, we would be very pleased for you to have it. We do want it to go to someone’s home that will use it and care for it.
