Description
A large ceramic basin or shallow bowl featuring a high-contrast monochrome palette. The form is defined by a deep circular body with widely flared sides, supported on a short, tapered circular foot. Both the interior and exterior surfaces are decorated with a dense black-ground design of stylized ‘chrysanthemum’ blossoms amidst scrolling foliage and tendrils, accented with white stippled details. The interior base is finished with a central circular medallion repeating the floral scroll motif, while the rim is defined by a thin white border. The underside of the base bears a printed black mark consisting of a heraldic shield divided into four quarters; the top-left and bottom-right quarters contain horizontal stripes, the top-right contains a letter ‘J’, and the bottom-left contains a Roman numeral ‘II’. The shield is flanked by a laurel wreath, surmounted by a bee, and set above a ribbon banner reading ‘INDIA JANE’ with the word ‘LONDON’ printed below.
Diameter: 40.5 cm
Height: 15 cm.
