Copper-lustre footed bowl with ochre-yellow floral band

A wide ochre-yellow band with floral and leaf decoration breaks up the warm metallic luster of this English copper-luster waste bowl. The bowl stands on a foot and combines a simple round shape with a decorative finish that looks attractive both on its own and among other English earthenware.

Originally, a waste bowl was part of the tea set: cooled tea and loose tea leaves were emptied into it before the cups were refilled. Today, this bowl can be beautifully displayed in a china cabinet or on a sideboard.
