Description
I just purchased this Aynsley China centerpiece / fruit bowl from a local estate here in Central Virginia. The bowl was produced as part of Aynsley's "Bird of Paradise" line of fine bone china. The base reads "Bird of Paradise" "Re-created from an early Aynsley design" "Circa 1850 AD". The piece is beautifully executed with graceful curvilinear lines to the footed form. The Japonisme inspired design is done in traditional Imari colors of cobalt blue, iron rust and gold. The bowl has a nice presence measuring 10 3/8" in diameter and 3 ½" deep. The base also bears the "AYNSLEY" "FINE ENGLISH BONE CHINA" pictured crest. The bowl is in excellent condition with no damage or noted wear (it appears like new without tags). This hard-to-find centerpiece bowl would make a fine addition to your Aynsley Bird of Paradise china service. (I did purchase two of these bowls and am happy to combine shipping if you'd like a mate.)
