Dresden China Bowl with Woman and Angel. Laurel leaf marking on bottom. Cream colored bowl depicting a woman and angel with green trim. Measures about 2 1/2" in height by 9 1/4". Good condition, some scratches and wear on design.
This stunning Dresden china bowl is a masterclass in neoclassical elegance, featuring a serene center illustration of a woman and a celestial angel. The cream-colored porcelain serves as a warm, neutral canvas for the central scene, which is framed by a bold, forest green trim along the scalloped edge. The artwork, rendered in soft, painterly tones, captures a moment of quiet grace, characteristic of the romanticized figures found in traditional German porcelain.
While the bottom bears the distinguished laurel leaf marking, the bowl itself carries a lived-in soul. There is visible wear and light scratching to the central design, which only serves to enhance its authentic vintage character. This piece is an ideal find for a Dark Academia dining setting or a study, where it could function as a sophisticated catch-all for fountain pens and curios, or as a striking fruit bowl atop a heavy oak table. Its generous nine-inch span and shallow profile allow the delicate artwork to remain visible even when in use, making it a functional piece of art history for the discerning collector.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old.
