This vintage bowl is decorated with ornate brown transferware patterns of flowers, leaves, fan, vase and scrolls, in the Aesthetic Period style.  The white body has an embossed texture neck and ornate raised leaf embellishments around the base. This spittoon is a standard 5" tall and 7" across and in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or stains.  The transfer pattern shows mild rubbing in a few spots and specks of color are out of place here and there.  Otherwise, the piece is very clean and fine.Be sure to check my new store!
