1x Antique French ironstone Cafe au Lait bowl - Red transfer Bordeaux
*Price is per bowl*
Two rare 19thC French footed Cafe au Lait bowls. Modelled in white ironstone pottery with straight tapering bowls, they are both decorated with elaborate classical underglaze red transfers depicting deer hunting with hounds, scrolling foliage and stag head cartouches.
Produced by the Jules Vieillard Faience factory of Bordeaux (1845 - 1895), with the late 19thC mark of J. Vieillard & Co. on the underside.
One bowl is more stained than the other, this is the left one in the pictures where they are stood side by side.
The price is for ONE bowl, please specify which when ordering, either LEFT (STAINED) or RIGHT (CLEANER).
Dimensions:
14cm diameter
8cm tall
Condition:
Age related wear and staining to both bowls, along with some manufacturing marks.
One bowl is more stained than the other (LEFT in pictures), this one also has two small fleabites on the foot but these do not overly detract. The cleaner bowl also has a miniscule fleabite to the underside of the foot, but this is barely noticeable and could be a firing fault.

You may 'buy it now' with the shipping cost calculated, but if this is incorrect we may contact you after purchase.
