Title: Pottery bowl - similar design to Belleek
Post by: VintageMissy 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

    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
