Please register my page among your "favorites", if you wish to be assured of being able to "see" future pieces. Our reference libraries largely focus on early pieces, & don't (yet) cover utilitarian French stoneware bowls. I believe that they began to appear in the 1880's, possibly earlier, and were produced into the 20th century. They're not easy to find in good shape - they saw frequent, perhaps daily use, and are usually chipped, stained, or cracked. This excellent, medium-sized bowl has the number 12 impressed on the bottom. The different rim & interior glazes, with the unglazed exterior, make for very pleasing colour & texture combinations. Please ask, if you wish additional photos. Condition is exceptional - there are no cracks or chips - there is the usual minor glaze crazing to the interior. Otherwise, the bowl clearly displays the individualistic character of antiques stoneware & pottery, in its irregularities. Diameter – 19.5 cm. (7 & 5/8"): height – 9 cm. (3 & 1/2"). Weight read more
