Large Staffordshire Mochaware Bowl with Cable Decoration
$1,800.00This large Staffordshire mochaware bowl, made in the early 19th century, measures an impressive 11.25 inches in diameter. Its extraordinary size, exuberant swirling decoration, and beautiful combination of an amber ground with brown, midnight brown, and light blue cable decoration give the bowl a wonderful sense of movement and vitality.
The interior is extensively decorated with bold earthworm, or cable, patterns also in brown, midnight brown, and light blue. The looping patterns spread across the warm amber ground, creating a lively interplay of color and movement. The spontaneous, flowing character of the decoration is especially appealing, with the colors winding around one another in broad, sweeping curves.
The exterior is equally beautiful, with a broad band of swirling cable decoration extending around the middle of the bowl against a soft white ground. Above and below this central decoration are three narrow horizontal bands: two of deep midnight brown separated by a band of light blue. These finely defined bands frame the exuberant cable decoration and give the exterior a wonderful balance of color and pattern.
The bowl’s generous proportions, wide-open form, and substantial foot give it an impressive presence. Large mochaware bowls are uncommon, particularly those combining extensive interior decoration with elaborate exterior patterns. The combination of scale, color, and exuberant decoration makes this a particularly exciting piece of early Staffordshire pottery.

Large Chinese Blue and White Porcelain Bowl Hand Painted 19th Century
$3,400.00This large Chinese blue and white porcelain bowl has the scale and presence that make a major piece of Chinese porcelain particularly exciting.
Measuring 14.5 inches across and 6.25 inches high, it is heavily potted, with substantial weight and a broad, deep form.
The form provides an ideal setting for the beautiful hand-painted decoration on both the exterior and interior.
The exterior is richly decorated with large panels of flowering peonies beneath a scrolling floral border.
The cobalt ranges from deep, saturated blue to softer washes, creating movement and depth across the surface.
Against the light blue-gray porcelain, the darker passages of cobalt have particular richness.
At the center of the bowl, a large hand-painted medallion of flowering peonies joined by a delicately drawn dragonfly is enclosed within double blue lines. Above it, a wide diaper border circles the interior rim, with oval reserves painted with flowering branches.
The bowl’s generous proportions are an important part of its appeal. At 14.5 inches in diameter, it has enough scale to stand alone as a centerpiece on a dining table, console, or large coffee table.
Dating to circa 1860–1870, the bowl survives in excellent antique condition with no chips or hairlines.
A few very small original kiln burns within the interior and tiny iron specks visible on the base are characteristic of period manufacture and remain unobtrusive.
With its generous scale, deep cobalt blue, and extensive hand-painted decoration, this impressive bowl introduces the timeless beauty and decorative presence of Chinese blue and white porcelain into an interior.

Large English Delft Blue and White Hand Painted Punch Bowl Liverpool 1760
$2,200.00This large English Delft punch bowl was hand painted in Liverpool around 1760. At thirteen inches in diameter, it combines substantial scale with notable lightness in both its thin potting and the clear soft tone of its cobalt blue.
The blue fires in a light, fresh shade that complements the delicacy of the bird-and-flower design on the exterior and the restrained floral sprigs within. A lively songbird moves through flowering sprays beneath a structured diaper border at the rim. The outlines are firm, the washes controlled, and the brushwork remains visible.
The cobalt stays light rather than dark or inky, allowing the decoration to read clearly across the broad surface. The glaze has a cool white cast with slight bluish translucency and an even surface with only mild pooling. That clarity supports the painting and sharpens the blue.
The foot ring is neatly cut and proportioned, reinforcing the sense of careful workshop finish. Inside, a single budding flower in the well and delicate leafy sprigs below the rim reflect the traditional restraint of Liverpool punch bowls of this period.
This bowl combines impressive scale with the light potting and fresh cobalt painting associated with fine Liverpool Delft. Displayed on a table or sideboard, it brings the character and freshness of eighteenth-century English Delft to a room.
Dimensions: 13 inches diameter x 6.5 inches tall
Condition: Excellent with a small glaze skip in the well and very small edge frits invisibly restored
Decoration: Hand-painted in soft cobalt blue with bird and flower sprays and diaper border
