A pair of antique German porcelain fruit bowls that feel like a still life come to table — each one centered with a different composition of summer and autumn fruit.
One bowl features strawberries and pomegranate; the other, grapes and melon — rendered in rich, vivid decals with a deep maroon and purple border and a scalloped gold rim. The maker's mark remains unidentified, but the quality of the porcelain and the richness of the decoration are unmistakably early 20th century German craft. Estimated to the 1920s based on style and construction. Two bowls that have stayed together for over a hundred years — and still look the part.
Wonderful displayed as wall plates in a dining room vignette, grouped with botanical prints or other fruit-themed ceramics, or given as a pair to a collector who appreciates something genuinely rare.
