Bowl 1760s

This 18th-century bowl, made by Staffordshire Potteries, showcases the vibrant colors and decorative motifs of the English earthenware industry. The bowl, part of a larger set, is decorated with a floral design in yellow, green, and brown, and features a fluted rim and base. This piece, now part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, reflects the growing popularity of tableware during the 1700s, as it transitioned from a functional object to a decorative one.
