<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> Antique Chelsea porcelain factory bowl/ basket. Measures 8inches long; 3 inches; to top of handles and 2inches; to top of sides. Oval shaped bowl. Sides have pierced/reticulated interlocking circles. Vertical handles at either end in barley-twist form. The bowl is decorated in a number of ways: The beautiful white porcelain on the outside is covered with delicated attached flowers. Where the handles join the basket/bowl, the flowers are larger and in clusters. The sides of the bowl on the inside are a rich, ruby red. They are bordered on top by a thickly gilded rim and on the bottom by a delicate gold foliate scrolling pattern. Within this border, on the bottom is a painting of magnificent exotic birds ( pheasants ) in a landscape. The oriental influence can be clearly seen in the painting, but the rest of the bowl and flowers are very, very English. The underneath of the bowl/basket is marked with the Chelsea gold anchor mark. The condition of the piece is very good. There is one chip, visible in the photo on the top of a loop. Fortunately, this does not go through to the red paint inside. There are minor chips to the petals of the attached flowers near the handles. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: 221</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:See Description</td></tr><tr><td>Year:See Description</td></tr><tr><td>Title:Chelsea reticulated porcelain bowl c 1800</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Boca Raton</td></tr></table>
