Slop Bowl 1848 - 1856

The "Slop Bowl," a piece of English porcelain from the 19th century, is a small, hand-painted bowl with a delicate floral pattern. Created by Charles Cartlidge and Company, the bowl features a silver-gilded rim and is decorated with black and gray floral motifs. While the bowl's function is unknown, its small size and delicate design suggest it may have been used for personal care or as a decorative item. It can be viewed today at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
