Wedgwood Creamware Twin Handle Pedestal Bowl Hand Painted c.1800 15cm

Elevate your collection with this exquisite early 19th century Wedgwood creamware twin handle pedestal bowl, beautifully hand painted and rich in period character. Combining refined neoclassical elegance with the warmth of timeworn charm, this rare piece makes a striking addition to any interior – from a rustic country kitchen to a curated display of fine English ceramics.

This authentic Wedgwood bowl is crafted in classic creamware, prized for its delicate, warm ivory tone and fine, lightweight body. The pedestal form is gracefully proportioned, rising to a gently flared bowl with twin side handles that create a balanced and sculptural silhouette. The hand painted decoration adds individuality and artistry, ensuring that no two examples are ever exactly alike.

Measuring approximately 15cm in height, this piece has a pleasing presence without overwhelming a table or display cabinet. It is ideally sized for use as a decorative centerpiece, a fruit or dessert bowl, or as a focal point within a collection of antique pottery and porcelain. The twin handles provide visual symmetry and a sense of ceremony, recalling the elegance of Georgian and Regency dining traditions.

As an early 19th century item, this creamware pedestal bowl has lived a long and useful life, and it bears evidence of careful historic restoration. There are repairs to the base, one handle, the bowl, and the rim. These restorations are reflected in the price and have been carried out to preserve the overall form and display value of the piece. While no longer suitable as a pristine collector’s cabinet piece, it remains a highly attractive and evocative object with strong decorative appeal.

The visible signs of age and repair contribute to its rustic charm and authenticity. For those who appreciate antiques that tell a story, this Wedgwood bowl offers exactly that: subtle imperfections, gentle wear, and a patina that only develops over two centuries. It is particularly well suited to interiors that embrace vintage and farmhouse style, wabi-sabi aesthetics, or layered, characterful decor that values history over perfection.
