Aynsley Pembroke Bone China Candy Bowl

At 13.5 cm wide, this Aynsley Pembroke bone china candy bowl carries the full decorative programme of the pattern, the vivid bird motif, colourful floral sprays, and delicate gilt border rendered with the precision and luminosity that define Aynsley at its finest, the shallow bowl form giving the decoration maximum visibility from above and making this one of the most display-friendly pieces in the Pembroke range.

Made by Aynsley China of Stoke-on-Trent, the Pembroke pattern is one of the house's most enduring and widely collected designs, its combination of a vivid bird motif, hand-painted floral sprays in rich colours, and a delicate gilt border giving it a decorative richness that has made it a favourite among collectors of English bone china since its introduction in the mid-20th century. The candy bowl, a small shallow dish intended for sweets or as a decorative accent piece, is a versatile form that works equally well on a dressing table, a side table, or in a display cabinet, and its relatively generous width at 13.5 cm gives it a presence that the smaller mint dish cannot match. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
