Antique Hand-Painted Porcelain Fruit Bowl – Scalloped Rim, Teal Gradient Glaze (Early 1900s)

This beautiful antique porcelain bowl features a classic hand-painted fruit motif set against a soft teal-to-white gradient glaze. Pieces with this style of decoration and delicate edge work are often associated with early 20th-century European porcelain, similar to pieces produced by RS Prussia or Bavarian porcelain houses between 1900 and 1920.

At the center, a detailed still-life of fruit—such as peaches, plums, or pears—adds warmth and painterly charm. The bowl is finished with a decorative scalloped “pie-crust” rim featuring molded detailing that enhances its elegant antique character. The vibrant teal wash along the edge fades softly into white, giving the piece a refined, heirloom look that fits beautifully into vintage-inspired decor.

Perfect as a decorative centerpiece, fruit bowl, or display piece for a china cabinet or open shelving.
