Antique French Heavyweight Ironstone Bowl

I have a total of three heavyweight examples of an unusually shaped large French white stoneware mixing bowl with decorative lion head handles. They are available to purchase in either a small, medium or large size

Dating from the early to mid 20th Century, these whiteware bowls are all in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Each of them are heavy duty and sturdy pieces, perfect for day to day use, and also look beautiful on display, perhaps planted up with some bulbs. The medium and large bowls each have a Mehun stamp mark on their bases dating them to the start of the 20th Century. The smaller bowl is unmarked and is likely to be more of a mid century piece.

Each bowl does show signs of age, with some light staining and wear, although this does add a unique timeworn patina to them. 

Small Bowl - this is the cleanest example although there are some scuff marks to the inside of the bowl and wear to the base. Length, 19cm; Diameter, 17cm; Height, 8.5cm

Medium Bowl - this bowl is the most weathered in appearance, with a number of scuffs and age marks, although these are mostly notable around the top rim and on the base. Length, 21cm; Diameter, 18.5cm; Height, 9cm

Large Bowl - this is a largely clean example, with a few scuff marks and age spots in places from use and wear to the base rim. Length, 24.5cm; Diameter, 21.8cm; Height, 10.8cm
