Rare Timeworn Antique French Spongeware Cafe au Lait
Rare Timeworn Antique French Spongeware Cafe au Lait
Couldn't load pickup availability
This is one of the prettiest cafe au lait bowls I've had available for some time.
With a rarely seen spongeware design, repeating a beautiful blue and green border, and a sepia coloured floral pattern all around the bowl, it has lots of timeworn charm. The bowl itself is an earthy cream colour.
There is a small amount of damage to the top rim of the bowl, with a small nibbled section plus a chip which is about 2cm in length. There is also a firing fault to the glaze on the inside of the bowl, where there is a small lip where the glaze finished.
These issues add natural timeworn charm, though, and it is a very pretty piece and also usable still.
