Beautiful vintage opaque porcelain salad bowl decorated with a mint green rim and gold edging.
Stamped underneath : "Porcelain - SA- Opaque".
Opaque porcelain, also known as fine earthenware or demi-porcelain, originated in England in 1769 and appeared in France at the end of the 18th century, notably in the Pont aux Choux factory. It is a white opaque fine-textured dense paste covered with a simple transparent glaze.
It was popular amongst wealthier clients.
Thicker coarser earthenware was aimed at more modest households.
Perfect for completing a service and creating a unique dinner table.
Bon état général mais l’article peut présenter des tâches et sa couleur peut légèrement être estompées.
