A luminous and rare footed serving bowl from Haviland & Co., Limoges, France, crafted between 1898 and 1931. This piece rests gracefully on three gilded spherical feet, elevating its presence and echoing the refined rituals of turn-of-the-century entertaining.
The bowl features ornate scrollwork and floral motifs in rich hues of blue, green, and red, bordered with hand-applied gold trim. Though the exact pattern name remains elusive, its craftsmanship and palette suggest a bespoke or limited-run design from Haviland’s golden era.
