This charming antique red transferware bowl captures the refined elegance of the late Victorian Aesthetic Movement. Featuring a beautifully detailed crimson pattern of birds, butterflies, and blossoming branches, it reflects the 19th-century fascination with nature and Japanese-inspired motifs. The fine crackle glaze adds authentic character and warmth, enhancing its timeworn beauty.
Measuring approximately 4.5" in diameter x 3" tall, this petite bowl was likely part of a table set—perhaps used for pudding, custard, or dessert. The repeating medallion of nesting birds framed by ornate scrollwork adds depth and visual interest, making it a standout display piece or a thoughtful addition to any transferware collection.
