Can somebody help me with the identification of the manufacturer of this beautiful fluted bowl? I always look out for a nice blush ware, because I collect them, but I wasn't able to find anything about this. There is no makers mark, only a painted number on the bottom : 1434X. And a very faint impressed IVORY word. If somebody is familiar with this bowl or pattern I would be very grateful.
Is there no stamp or something on the backside?
Not hidden into the painted flowers ?
No, Aura, nothing, only that number and that word. I though maybe somebody might recognise the manufacturer from the impressed IVORY word.
Meaby Thomas Ivory
I don't think so, Thomas Ivory had different back stamps. Anyway they marked the Ivory name on their ware only after 1939 and they manufactured porcelain. My bowl looks much older and it's earthenware. I think the IVORY here means the colour type of the ceramics. But of course I might be wrong
Anyway thank you Aura for your effort
I think it's Prussian, to begin with. Could have been a blank for a home artist to paint. Those pansies are so cute!
Thank you Celiene for your opinion. But I think the bowl wasn't painted by a home artist. I still can see some underlying transfer what was painted over. But of course anything is possible.
Thank you all for your loves!
And another reason why I think it's not painted by an amateur. On the bottom of the bowl is a painted number and it's usually the pattern number.
