MASON’S IRONSTONE CANTON RED #447 IMARI- CHINOISERIE (c.1900) COVERED SERVING BOWL- RARE!! EXCELLENT!!

THE  SERVING BOWL AND COVER ARE IN EXCELLENT  CONDITION CONSIDERING THEIR 118 YEAR AGE  !!  THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR  CHIPS, BUT THERE IS OVERALL CRAZING TO THE LID, NONE TO THE BOWL.   THE CRAZING TO THE COVER DOESN’T DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE PATTERN,  ONLY REALLY NOTICEABLE UP CLOSE ON THE WHITE BACKGROUND AND ON THE UNDER SIDE. 

THE COLOURFUL IMARI PATTERN OF CHINOISERIE SCENES AND DESIGNS  INCLUDES GENEROUS GILT ACCENTS AND OUTLINES. THE SCALLOPED EDGE HAS A LIGHT BURNT  ORANGE COLOUR TRIM.

THE SERVING BOWL MEASURES 13 1/2 INCHES FROM HANDLE TO HANDLE END, 9 1/2 INCHES TO THE SIDES  AND STANDS 2 3/8 INCHES IN HEIGHT AT THE HANDLES. WITH THE COVER IT MEASURES 6 INCHES IN HEIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE LID FINIAL. 

WHAT A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR  SERVING BOWL COLLECTION OR TO YOUR    CANTON RED  SET.  AND AS ALWAYS, DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, FEWER OF THESE FINE PIECES WILL BE AROUND.
