DAISY Holland Made in Holland Antique 1844 Large Plate (Deep Plate) Large Bowl ⚫︎ Rare Item Introducing an extremely elegant and decorative ceramic large bowl made in Holland, originating from mid-19th century Europe. ⁂ At this time, Holland, having passed through its 17th-century Golden Age, had elevated its prosperity as a maritime nation and its international sensibilities into its culture. * The aesthetics brought from around the world—Oriental ceramics, Islamic decorations, Renaissance patterns—were quietly fused to create "vessels that are both practical and art." It was not a luxury item solely for royalty and nobles, but a piece of art pottery to adorn a life of culture and aesthetic sensibility. This large bowl also boasts a form with a dignified diameter and depth, exuding an unwavering presence with its low, stable foot. The black glaze covering the exterior is deliberately understated in its decoration, while the interior features geometric patterns and floral motifs arranged radially, meticulously depicted in deep indigo, reddish-brown, green, and gold leaf. * The decorative lines are slightly raised, creating shadows with each change in light, giving a sense of rich depth despite being a flat surface. Its expression, where daintiness and grandeur coexist, is characteristic of an era when the boundaries between utility and art were still beautifully blended. Use it to generously serve fruits, reflecting the colors of the season. Or, place it empty in a space to enjoy its quiet presence as a focal point. This large bowl will undoubtedly elevate the "status of the space" by changing its role according to the user's sensibility. ⁂ A piece that continues to maintain its dignified beauty. Please enjoy this rare antique large bowl. ⁂ ⚫︎ Size Diameter: Approx. 32cm Height: Approx. 8cm ⚫︎ This is a rare item recommended by a European antique dealer.
