A luminous ceramic centerpiece bowl by J. Wood & Sons, crafted in mid-century Staffordshire. This footed form features a scalloped silhouette with a soft ivory glaze, elevated by an iridescent pearlised finish that shimmers subtly in changing light. Twin scroll handles in a high-shine metallic glaze lend contrast and drama, making this piece both functional and ornamental.
Produced in Burslem, England, during the 1950s, this piece reflects the period's post-war romanticism—where everyday ceramics were elevated with refined glazes and sculptural details. The firm was known for combining classic English forms with popular decorative effects like lusterware. Ideal as a statement fruit bowl, dry floral vessel, or simply as a display object that catches the light with every glance.
Condition:
Very Good - No chips or cracks; some light crazing visible on the base typical for its age. The glaze and metallic handles are intact with minimal wear.
