Vintage creamware centrepiece bowls | Waterlily | Velamour Spode
Set of two vintage Spode centrepiece bowls with a matt cream finish and modelled on waterlilies dating from the 1930s to 1950s. The velamour finish has a glowing depth, like pearls, giving them a dreamy, theatrical feel and they would fit right into Cecil Beaton's orangery, as featured in the recent Garden Museum exhibition.
With their low profile they would be ideal for table centrepiece arrangements that don't block conversation (just add a frog or some chicken wire), or where a tall vase could get knocked over. Equally, they would work as small storage.
Condition: No chips or cracks, but the larger has visible crazing on the outside on one side (see pictures), and crazing and discolouration inside, and the smaller has crazing inside and discolouration on the bottom that isn't visible unless it's picked up.
