About the Item
This vibrant floral bowl is a striking example of early 20th-century English transferware at its finest. What sets the 'Nankin' pattern apart is its exuberant border of hand-tinted blooms in vivid pinks, yellows, and cornflower blues, offset by ornate scrollwork. The design is at once lively and elegant — capturing the essence of English country charm while echoing the chinoiserie influences that inspired many early transferware patterns.
Crafted by Booths Ltd., a respected pottery firm based in Stoke-on-Trent, this bowl hails from a time when utility and artistry were perfectly entwined. The attention to detail — from the clarity of the transfer pattern to the hand-coloring — reflects a level of craftsmanship that’s increasingly rare. It's not just a bowl, but a slice of design history with practical beauty and enduring value. Whether used or displayed, it elevates the everyday.
Imagine a garden party in bloom, captured on porcelain. This medium-sized bowl has a creamy white base encircled by a riot of florals, delicately outlined and filled with rich, jewel-toned hues. The florals are framed by an intricate teal scroll border that adds a refined finish. It has a subtle gloss, a graceful profile, and just the right amount of vintage patina to show it’s lived a life well-loved.
The ‘Nankin’ pattern was produced under Booths’ "Whieldon Ware" line in the early 1900s, drawing inspiration from Chinese export porcelain — specifically, the Nanking wares that were highly prized in Europe. Booths was known for high-quality earthenware, and Whieldon Ware was named in homage to Thomas Whieldon, a pioneer in ceramic glazing. Pieces like this were part of formal dining sets, meant to add colour and elegance to both everyday meals and special occasions.
