About MeThis porcelain bowl with a scalloped border is decorated with eight hand painted panels, four of which show floral bouquets depicting tulips, roses and daisies on a yellow ground punctuated by four panels portraying romantic rural scenes. There is extensive fine gilding which frames each of the panels and each frame is completed by a centred gilded scallop shell on the upper edge.
