Indulge in the refined elegance of this antique English porcelain centerpiece, a beautifully crafted oval dish that combines classic design with exquisite decorative detail. Measuring approximately 30cm in length, this striking piece is ideal as a table centerpiece, display bowl, or cabinet showpiece, bringing a touch of historic luxury to any interior.

The porcelain body is finished in a rich green ground, delicately adorned with floral motifs and enhanced by gleaming gold overlay. The gilt detailing highlights the contours of the design, catching the light and emphasizing the fine quality of the decoration. The pierced, or reticulated, border adds an extra level of sophistication: each opening has been carefully cut and finished, creating a lace-like effect around the rim that showcases the skill of the original maker.

The oval form is both graceful and practical, offering a generous display area while maintaining an elegant, elongated silhouette. Whether used to present seasonal décor, displayed empty as a sculptural object, or incorporated into a larger decorative arrangement, this antique English porcelain piece stands out as a focal point in any setting.

This is an original antique item, not a modern reproduction, and it bears all the charm and character that collectors seek. The combination of green ground, floral design, gold gilding, and pierced detailing is particularly desirable, making it a wonderful addition for enthusiasts of fine English porcelain, Victorian and Edwardian interiors, or high-end decorative arts.

Condition is good for age, with honest signs of its long history. There is a small hairline to the rim and a chip to the back of the plate/dish, both mentioned for accuracy and reflected in the overall presentation. These minor imperfections do not detract from its display appeal and are typical of antique porcelain that has been cherished and used over time. The face of the piece remains beautifully decorative and highly presentable as a centerpiece.
