Antique English Staffordshire Spongeware Splatterware Large Bowl

This Antique English Staffordshire Spongeware Splatterware Large Bowl is a timeless treasure. A true testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the 19th century, this large earthenware bowl is a one-of-a-kind creation, as the spontaneous application of color with a sponge or brush ensures no two patterns are ever identical. Made by Baker & Co, of Fenton, Staffordshire, England, established in 1790 by Ralph Bourne and William Baker. 

This particular piece features a striking deep blue, with red, green and more rare to see purple. Set against a creamy ivory background, the vibrant, hand-applied glaze is still beautifully lustrous, telling a story of over a hundred years of care and use. Age appropriate aging on the inside which we love. The substantial, generous size of this bowl makes it as versatile as it is beautiful. Use it as a stunning centerpiece on your French Country table, a fruit bowl overflowing with seasonal produce, or a key piece in your collection of antique stoneware. More than just a decorative object, this bowl is a tangible link to a bygone era of beautiful hand created pottery.

• Measures 8-1/8" x 4-1/4".
