The exterior of the footed bowl and the wide rim of the underplate showcase large, luminous white stylized lily blossoms or magnolias. These organic elements alternate with panels of intricate golden seaweed motifs and green stenciled fields mimicking traditional Japanese \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"572\"\u003eshagreen\u003c\/i\u003e patterns. The interior of the bowl reveals a delicate gilt classical wave border around the inner rim, leading to a central, hand-painted stylized leaf medallion that mirrors the center of the saucer. Originally designed to rinse fingers between courses, this highly decorative set acts today as a sophisticated visual anchor on a classical sideboard, an eclectic vanity set, or styled alongside historical curiosities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Details \u0026amp; Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEstimated Period:\u003c\/b\u003e Late 19th Century (c. 1880-1890).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e United Kingdom (England).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Fine glazed porcelain, hand-painted enamel, bright gold leaf gilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Underplate Diameter 21 cm | Bowl Diameter 16 cm (H 8.5 cm) | Total Combined Height 10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Excellent antique condition.
