Accurate Description of Item
Lovely Antique Bowl with no markings
Appraiser Remarks
Pieces like this without any markings are often what's called "Whiteware", meaning it was originally sold as an undecorated blank to Decorator studios who would then decorated them for resale, in some cases these pieces would be "seconds", pieces with small defects a sold wholesale. Highly floral examples like this generally date from the mid to late 19th century, Limoge, France being the largest center of production. Demand for china like this last peaked during the late 1980's through early 90's and has been in decline since that time, comparable unmarked examples often now sell for under $100.00.
Estimated Value
$75.00- $100.00
