{"product_id":"antique-swedish-shell-handled-serving-bowl-anna-transferware","title":"The Anna Shell Bowl","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn antique Swedish serving bowl in the Anna pattern, printed in teal transfer on cream earthenware and marked ANNA beneath the triangle mark of Aktiebolaget Göteborgs Porslinsfabrik, c.1904. It is round and shallow with a broad wave-cut rim, and two shell handles are modelled in one piece with the body, shaded with printed relief that follows the moulding exactly. It is undamaged and, unusually for Anna earthenware of this age, entirely free of crazing and staining, with only a scatter of tiny iron flecks that have been in the glaze since the firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnna was the factory's own pattern and its great success, drawn in rococo revival cartouches with chrysanthemum bouquets falling in loose garlands. This round, handled form was the open serving dish of the service, passed round by its two shells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShallow enough that the whole pattern reads from directly above, which makes it a bowl to leave out — on a coffee table, an open shelf or a hall chest, for keys and post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 9.1\" diameter incl. handles x 2\" high\u003cbr\u003eApprox. overall 23cm diameter incl. handles x 5cm high\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping to the United States:\u003c\/strong\u003e the price you see includes all import duties and tariffs.
