EIT England Blue Willow Ceramic Dessert Bowl

At 5 cm tall and 16 cm wide, this EIT England Blue Willow ceramic dessert bowl carries the full ornate Blue Willow landscape around both its interior and exterior, the pattern wrapping the bowl with a completeness and richness of decoration that makes it as pleasing to examine empty as it is to use at the table.

Made by EIT England, an English transferware manufacturer of the 20th century, this dessert bowl is decorated with the Blue Willow pattern, one of the most enduringly popular and widely produced patterns in English transferware since its introduction in the late 18th century. The dessert bowl, with its generous width and moderate depth, is one of the most practical and versatile forms in any table service, suited to use for desserts, fruit, or cereal as well as display on a shelf or dresser, and the ornate quality of the EIT England version of the Blue Willow pattern, which renders the classic landscape of willow trees, pagodas, bridges, and birds with a density and richness of detail that distinguishes it from the more restrained versions of the pattern produced by other manufacturers, gives the bowl a decorative quality that rewards close examination from any angle. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
