Province Empress Decorative Footed Bowl

A footed bowl, 13.75 inches across and just over five deep, in classic chinoiserie worked in taupe rather than cobalt. Taupe is the quieter choice and sits against wood and stone where blue would assert itself, which widens considerably the range of rooms it suits. The raised pedestal foot lifts the body so the pattern reads from the side as well as from above. Handcrafted ceramic, so each piece varies slightly. From the Province collection.
