Superb porcelain bowl from Paris dating back to the 19th century, hand-decorated with pastoral scenes and rich gilding. Two cartouches illustrate scenes of rural life: a man preparing his tobacco and a woman seated holding a long wooden spoon, symbols of the peaceful everyday life of old France. The other faces are adorned with golden motifs – arrows, axes, and foliage – on a deep red background, giving the piece a noble and decorative appearance. Resting on an elegant foot, this bowl combines artistic refinement and functionality. It will be perfect as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or as a collectible item in a classic or eclectic interior. Dimensions Diameter: 21.5 cm Height: 11 cm (8.5 x 4.3 inches) Condition Excellent original condition. No chips or cracks. Gilding and colors very well preserved, with slight traces of time.
