Description from the seller
Rarity & Period:
Superb hard-paste porcelain bowl (or large flat-bottomed bowl/serving bowl) from Paris, dating to the Louis XVI period, in the last quarter of the 18th century (circa 1781–1789).
Origin & Mark:
Manufacture du Duc d'Angoulême, rue de Bondy, Paris (founded by Christophe Dihl and Antoine Guérhard).
Authentic mark painted in red on the underside: the letter "A" beneath a ducal crown, corresponding to the cipher of Louis-Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Angoulême (nephew of King Louis XVI).
Decoration:
Interior: Richly hand-painted with naturalistic scattered flowers and bouquets (roses, tulips, forget-me-nots).
Outer rim: Very finely decorated with a trellis of foliage garlands, interspersed with roses and embellished with gold dots.
Border: Double fine gold line.
Condition:
Very well preserved for an 18th-century piece. Bright colors, with the gilding in good condition. (Please note here any cracks, chips, or slight wear to the gilding observed on direct examination).
