You are looking at ONE Exquisitely Detailed Flow Blue LAKEWOOD Vegetable Serving Bowl with handles from approximately 1890. This is an exquisite piece with embossing, gold leaf, and beautiful floral and leaf and lacey transferware pattern. The pattern: LAKEWOOD is by Enoch Wood and Sons from England. The flow blue on this piece is distinctive of the late 1800s , with a very intricate design but lighter and more detailed and is far more controlled than those pieces using this technique earlier in the century. The design features the traditional deep blue with lighter blue and detailed accents. While this bowl appears delicate, it is relatively heavy, and is marked semi-porcelain. The flow is just enough to make the design appear very elegant, flowing on the outside and leaving a lovely light blue sheen between portions of the darker blue design. However, the interior of the bowl is almost pure white. There are a few specs in the interior glaze. Flow blue is a manufacturing process where the blue dye “flowed” into the clay of the plate during firing. Because this piece indicates country of origin marked on the back, it indicates it was made after 1880 when country of origin was required on all imported pottery. The piece is very lovely with intricate embossing of the design throughout. This is a beautiful piece, and appears flawless . There are NO Cracks, NO Chips, NO Crazing that I can see. There is NO discoloration to the pottery . (just the specs mentioned above). The piece feels very solid. The bowl measures 10.25" across the top handle to handle, 8.25" diagonally across the bowl top and stand 3.25" off the table top. This piece is exquisite. There is detailed embossing, scalloping and gold leafing, which does not show well in the flash photos. Beautiful leaf , flower, vine, & lacey eyelet design. Circa 1890. This piece was available with and without a lid. A beautiful bowl for your display case . I used to fill it with blue glass Christmas Ornaments every year for the holidays. It was gorgeous decoration. Such a pretty accent piece!!! Buy for a Flow Blue collector or to add to your collection. Comes from a smoke free home.

Regarding Complaints About the Cost of Shipping: We (as do many sellers) receive complaints about the cost of shipping. Letters: “I have just purchased X and would like you to ship it for less.” “Can you explain why the shipping is so high” (my favorite) “ Would you be accepting to send parcel post for a much less shipping cost?” Another favorite from a customer who complained about the parcel post rate… “It took too long to get here,...you could have sent it Priority Mail.” On International shipping (the cost is even more ridiculous): "...$28.00 shipping for a TOWEL! You have to be kidding." Item weight is estimated at the time of listing, with a box which fits the item and allowances made for necessary packing materials.
